John Harold Buckley, has left a lasting impact on the citizens of Colorado.

Few people have the honor of closing a chapter in their career by spending a morning flying a fighter jet over the state they serve in, as well as the state they were born in. Following in the footsteps of his father who flew the same aircraft decades prior, U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jeremiah “Weed” Tucker, director of Air Staff for the Colorado Air National Guard, went out in style after relinquishing command of the 140th Wing in November 2024.
