In the 1990s and first decade of the 21st century, one of the new " young lions " was Christian McBride ( born 1972 ), who has performed with a range of veterans ranging from McCoy Tyner to fusion gurus Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, and who has released albums such as 2003's Vertical Vision.

* The Million Dollar Band: This was a jam-session segment, airing from 1980 through 1988, composed of legendary Nashville musicians Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph, Roy Clark, Floyd Cramer, Charlie McCoy, Danny Davis, Jethro Burns, and Johnny Gimble.

Guitarists in the fusion realm fused the post-bop harmonic and melodic language of musicians such as John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Ornette Coleman, and Miles Davis with a hard-edged ( and usually very loud ) rock tone created by iconic guitarists such as Cream's Eric Clapton who'd redefined the sound of the guitar for those unfamiliar with the black blues players of Chicago and, before that, the Delta region of the Mississippi upon whom his style was based.

Additionally his film work includes the role of Dr. Hank McCoy ( also known as the Beast ) in X-Men: The Last Stand, and he was the voice of Snowball in the live-action film adaptation of the George Orwell book Animal Farm.

He was a sideman on many Blue Note recordings of the era, playing with Sam Rivers, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Pearson, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, Horace Silver and others.

Unlike his TNG co-stars, this was Michael Dorn's second Star Trek film, having appeared on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, portraying his TNG character's grandfather, Colonel Worf, who defended Kirk and McCoy on their trial.

At least one other PSA was produced for the American Dental Association, featuring Dr. McCoy and Nurse Chapel, but it has yet to resurface.

McCoy was born in 2227.

In 2266, McCoy was posted as chief medical officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk who calls him " Bones ".

Kelley's first broadcast appearance as Doctor Leonard McCoy was in " The Man Trap " ( 1966 ).

Kelley, who in his youth wanted to become a doctor, in part drew upon his real-life experiences in creating McCoy: a doctor's " matter-of-fact " delivery of news of Kelley's mother's terminal cancer was the " abrasive sand " Kelley used in creating McCoy's demeanor.

Star Trek writer D. C. Fontana said that while Roddenberry created the series, Kelley essentially created McCoy ; everything done with the character was done with Kelley's input.

Kelley said that his greatest thrill at Star Trek conventions was the number of people who told him they entered the medical profession because of the McCoy character.

The article suggests that the McCoy family was predisposed to bad tempers because many of them had a pheochromocytoma, which produced excess adrenaline and a tendency toward explosive tempers.

* Marshall was played by Donald Eugene McCoy in the Chinese movie Founding of a Republic.

Alfred McCoy has claimed that the CIA attempted to focus media attention on these sorts of " ridiculous " programs, so that the public would not look at the primary goal of the research, which was developing effective methods of torture and interrogation.

In " The Paradise Syndrome "," the Enterprise attempts to save a pre-industrial planet by moving an asteroid that was on a collision course with it ; when McCoy asks Kirk if he should warn the people, Kirk and Spock only point out the people would not understand the warning, and neither makes any reference to the Prime Directive.

The effect was used in the 1930s on " Sugar Blues " by commercial Dixieland trumpeter Clyde McCoy, who built a long career around the sound, and even today has a popular wah-wah pedal by Vox named after him.

In the TOS episode " Mirror, Mirror ," Spock of the Mirror Universe performed a forced mind meld on Dr. Leonard McCoy in order to learn what McCoy was keeping secret.

Such was the case with Spock, who, near the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, implanted his katra into the mind of Dr. McCoy prior to sacrificing his life to save the USS Enterprise from Khan's attack.

Following Spock's death, McCoy began exhibiting Vulcan-like behavior and was briefly institutionalized.

He was recovered and was taken with McCoy to Mount Seleya on Vulcan where a Vulcan high priestess named T ' Lar performed a rare, seldom-attempted ritual called the fal tor pan, literally, " re-fusion ," which removed the katra from McCoy and implanted it into Spock's regenerated body.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, McCoy AFB became a forward operating base for more than 120 F-100 Super Sabre and F-105 Thunderchief fighter bombers and the primary such base for U-2 reconnaissance aircraft flying over Cuba.

The following year, McCoy's 306th Bombardment Wing was inactivated, its B-52D Stratofortress and KC-135A Stratotanker aircraft reassigned to other SAC units and most of the McCoy facility turned over to the city of Orlando by the General Services Administration ( GSA ) in late 1974 and early 1975.

Although German and Italian aircraft were not given code names by their Allied opponents, in 1942, Captain Frank T. McCoy, an intelligence officer of the USAAF, invented a system for the identification of Japanese military aircraft.

Bomber aircraft would remain at MacDill until the 306th Bombardment Wing's transfer to McCoy AFB, and SAC would continue to maintain a tenant presence at MacDill through the 1980s, utilizing their Alert Facility as a dispersal location for B-52 and KC-135 aircraft.

McCoy, was appointed commander of the 321st Bombardment Wing on 24 May 1954, having earned the unofficial distinction of being the " dean " of the Strategic Air Command ’ s B-47 " Stratojet " aircraft commanders.

During the competition, a B-47 aircraft mishap north of downtown Orlando took the lives of Colonel McCoy, Group Captain John Woodroffe of the Royal Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Joyce, and Major Vernon Stuff during preparations for the event.

While at McCoy, the squadron flew the propeller driven EC-121 Warning Star radar surveillance aircraft in its EC-121D and EC-121Q variants.

On 1 April 1963, the 306th Bombardment Wing ( 306 BW ) moved to McCoy AFB from MacDill AFB, Florida and converted to B-52D Stratofortress and KC-135A Stratotanker aircraft.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the 306th and McCoy AFB was a frequent host for the annual Strategic Air Command Bombing and Navigation Competition between SAC wings operating B-52, FB-111 and KC-135 aircraft from throughout the Strategic Air Command, competing for the prestigious Fairchild Trophy.

Up until 1980, Strategic Air Command considered retaining the former SAC Alert Facility on the south end of the airfield as either an Operating Location ( OL ) or as a smaller installation to be called McCoy Air Force Station under control of an air base squadron for occasional dispersal basing of two B-52D / G / H and two KC-135A / E / Q aircraft from other SAC installations.

This concept never came to fruition, but the Alert Facility, a nose dock hangar and several buildings on the north end of the McCoy ramp were turned over to the U. S. Army Reserve ( USAR ) for use as an Army Aviation Support Facility for USAR units operating C-12 transport / operational support aircraft ( OSA ), RC-12 electronic reconnaissance aircraft and UH-1 medical evacuation helicopters.

The aircraft immediately attempted to return to the base, but crashed just short of Runway 18R in a residential area of Orlando, Florida, approximately 1 mile north of McCoy AFB, destroying or damaging eight homes.

This aircraft was flown to Orlando from Carswell for display at the former McCoy AFB, now Orlando International Airport, when the B-52D was being phased out of the SAC inventory in 1984.

Captain William Kiestler, commanding officer of Norfolk Naval Shipyard was relieved of duty on July 1, 2010 by order of Vice Admiral Kevin M. McCoy, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, after a year on the job because of a loss of confidence in his ability to command .< ref > Sizemore, Bill.

In 1958, Colonel Michael Norman Wright McCoy, USAF, commander of the 321st Bombardment Wing died in the crash of a B-47 Stratojet during SAC's annual Bombing and Navigation Competition at Pinecastle.

On 19 November 1951 the Wing received its first operational Boeing B-47B and christened it " The Real McCoy " in honor of Colonel Michael N. W. McCoy, the wing commander who flew it from the Boeing Wichita plant to MacDill.

At the time of his death, McCoy was serving as the commander of the 321st Bombardment Wing, the host wing of the base.

Despite this tragedy, the 321st Bomb Wing, under the direction of its new commander, Colonel Robert W. Strong, Jr., won the top honors of the meet, including the coveted Fairchild and McCoy trophies, distinguishing the 321st as the top B-47 Wing in SAC.

With Spock in tow, the Romulan commander asks McCoy to confirm Spock's characterization of the Captain as being mentally incompetent and McCoy does so.
