Yes, he was in DH's cousin Pancho's bar.

In addition to the bar part; I thought he was also in the B29 scene?

Right Stuff is a great movie. It makes me very proud of this nation to see what we accomplished back then.
I think of how short of time span it was between breaking the sound barrier, and the Wright Brothers first flight.
Amazing!!

Also I watched Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart on NetFlix.
A very interesting movie that gave a lot of insight into the the rapid change after WWII.
