Especially, since it appears he was born in 1967/68 which was right in the middle of when the TOS ran.
The Air Force, in designing fighter aircraft canopies, had a machine that would simulate bird strikes. They simulated it by shooting chickens at high speed at the test canopies. At one time, the wing commander of that test squadron was.. wait for it.. Col Sanders. Granted he was many levels above the testing office, but it is an almost interesting coincidence.
