Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 – February 13, 2002)

 

Jennings was a country music singer, songwriter, and musician.
best known as one of the founding pioneers of the Outlaw
Movement
in country music.

Jennings started to play guitar at age of eight and first performed
at age 12 on
KVOW radio, after which he formed his first band, The
Texas Longhorns. Jennings left high school at age 16, determined
to become a musician and worked as a performer and DJ on KVOW,
KDAV, KYTI, KLLL, in Coolidge, Arizona, and Phoenix.

In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings’s first recording session,
and hired him to play
bass. Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-
fated flight
in 1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. “The Big
Bopper” Richardson
and Ritchie Valens. Jennings died in his sleep
from complications of diabetes at the age of 64, at his home in Chandler,
 Arizona.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the
air service branch of the
United States Armed Forces, and is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services. Initially formed as a part of the United States Army on 1
August 1907, the USAF was established as a separate branch of the
U.S. Armed Forces on 18 September 1947 with the passing of the
National Security Act of 1947. It is the second youngest branch of
the U.S. Armed Forces and the fourth in
order of precedence.

The NFL will honor the 75th anniversary of the United States Air
Force
before the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams
take the field at SoFi Stadium Sunday when five elite pilots take
part in a pregame flyover during the closing notes of the national anthem.
