Military Service and Airline Career

E. Matthew "Whiz" Buckley

From 1991-2006, Buckley was a decorated Naval Aviator with the United States Navy serving at multiple duty stations worldwide. He was an F/A-18 Hornet Instructor and Adversary Pilot with combat experience.[2] He flew 44 combat sorties over Iraq and was awarded 2 Strike/Flight Air Medals. He was a Navy Fighter Weapons School (also known as TOP GUN) Graduate. His last squadron was Strike Fighter Squadron 201 (VFA-201), based at NAS JRB Fort Worth, Texas.

Mr. Buckley flew for FedEx for ten months before moving to American Airlines. After completing training in August 2001, he was scheduled for his first flight as an American Airlines pilot on September 11th, 2001. Upon recognizing the attacks, he arrived at Naval Air Station Fort Worth just as it was locked down and went to a combat posture.

He called down to Maintenance Control and was told by the Chief that there were four Hornets that were "FMC," or Fully Mission Capable. Buckley ordered them immediately prepped for flight as a colleague worked the other line ordering weapons to be loaded. He coordinated with the Air Force Reserve F-16 squadron on the air station, the 457th Fighter Squadron (also known as “The Spads”) who was tied into NORAD, the North American Air Defense Command, and both squadrons stood up rotating fighter alerts. Later that day, the Spads launched on a non-responsive aircraft and flew combat air patrol over the southwest United States.

Buckley went from flying a commercial airliner that day to possibly shooting down a hostile plane. On September 13th, 2001, Buckley launched and forced an aircraft to land that was heading towards presidential restricted airspace.[8] [9]

He served as a Department Head in a fighter squadron responsible for the safe operation and combat capability of 12 F/A-18 Hornet aircraft worth over $500 million. His responsibilities included the supervision and management of 200 naval personnel and material assets during combat operations. He managed the career paths and professional development of officers and enlisted personnel, managed a $25 million operations budget, and was responsible for planning, coordinating, and directing allied assets in the Persian Gulf theatre as the Mobile Targeting Officer in Riyadh, KSA, under the command of Joint Task Force Southwest Asia. He conducted briefings for the highest levels of the National Command Authority and held a Top Secret/SCI clearance. Buckley served as a senior LSO, or Landing Signal Officer. He was also awarded four Navy Achievement Medals.
