Didn’t he also have Brown & Root (notorious non union contractor) build his own runway for AF1 on his Texas ranch?
That’s what I always heard anyway when I was a little chilrun in the 60’s

Built in 1961, 6,300 foot long private runway
Yes, he did have Brown & Root do that - just before they were purchased (GASP) by HALLIBURTON!!!!!!!!
There was a joke going on in the early years of the Kennedy administration. JFK- “Hey Lyndon, I’m going to build a tunnel from the White House to the Vatican!” LBK - “That’s okay by me Jack, just so long as Brown & Root get the contract to build it!”
