The US Air Force Academy now has 37 cases of cadet cheating under investigation, instead of the 36 reported earlier. Of the 37 cases, 27 fourth class cadets have admitted they cheated on a Fourth Class Knowledge Test. Of those 27, 25 were academy athletes. One cadet has resigned. Peer panels so far have found that eight cadets violated the academy code.
Air Force senior statesmen explained the reasons they jointly sent a letter to Congress urging restoration of the E-7 Wedgetail and more F-35s to the fiscal 2026 defense budget.
