AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) -Like countless other college running backs, Air Force senior Jared Tew worked on his routes over the summer.
Only, he wasn’t practicing patterns on the football field like others were but speeding high above the Rocky Mountains inside the cockpit of a single-prop training plane.
Falcons quarterback Tim Jefferson sure could’ve used him at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where he grabbed anyone he could find to throw passes to between sessions in the flight simulator.
For these cadets, summers are as much about training to serve their country after college as they are preparing for the upcoming season.
