Chad Hennings, a former Air Force Academy lineman, is on the ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. He is one of 77 players and seven coaches listed on the 2006 ballot. Hennings, an academic all-American as well as a former A-10 pilot during the 1991 Gulf War after his graduation from the academy, played nine years in the National Football League with the Dallas Cowboys.
Aircraft readiness will suffer if Congress does not approve some $1.5 billion worth of spare parts the Air Force requested in its annual Unfunded Priorities List, sent to Capitol Hill last week, Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin said.
