President’s Message

It is an honor to welcome all to our forty-fifth induction dinner, celebrating four more interesting and deserving individuals. I'm reminded of a long ago TV series, That Was the Year That Was because that's an apropos description of your Museum's recent past. Sure, we continued our usual parties, tours, open cockpit weekend, nights at the museum and we added some expanded summer programs, thanks to the initiative of Shea and Suzanne. We even hosted an event for a most memorable person, one of the World War II “Rosie the Riveters” who continued her trade after the war and only stopped riveting at 95! Now, 98, she visited us during a whirlwind tour and charmed all in the audience.

If you have not visited us recently, please come see our progress with new exhibits, improved access to displayed aircraft and enhanced decorating, all accomplished by our cadre of volunteers. We could not exist without their dedication!

So all was quite routine until Shea announced that he had one of those “offers he could not refuse”. As much as he was dedicated to our museum, Shea's other overwhelming passion is his religion and he was asked to become an associate minister in a growing church. As much as we regret the loss, we could only wish him Godspeed! As we faced the vacant position, we were most fortunate to recruit Ralph Villecca who came aboard at a most dynamic time. We've known Ralph for a long time and his dossier includes many years with Bendix/Allied Signal/Honeywell and he supervised the building demolition and remediation of the property when it was abandoned. Then, Ralph was involved with the development of the Teterboro Landing shopping center and we were able to convince him to lead us as the project was completed. Therefore, Ralph knows Teterboro totally, a great benefit in his position. We are most fortunate to have his expertise.

The Emil Buehler Trust was established in 1984 to perpetuate the memory of Emil Buehler and his commitment to aviation science and technology. Aviation visionary, architect and engineer. Emil Buehler was born 1899 in Alpirsbach, a small town in Germany. He first experienced flying at age 17 as a pilot in the World War I German navy. Following the war, he graduated from the University of Stuttgart with degrees in architecture and engineering – moving to America within the year to pursue his career. A pioneer in aeronautics as well as a designer of buildings, Mr. Buehler was actively involved in many of the significant aviation events that took place in New Jersey during the late 1920's and early 1930's. He operated his own school of aeronautics at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, ran a seaplane base on the Hudson River, and later designed and personally supervised the construction of an aviation facility at the Executive Airport in Fort Lauderdale. His aeronautic involvements also included funding the development of a wind tunnel with Mach 3 capability – allowing the testing of space vehicles in design configurations at speeds up to three times the speed of sound. The internationally-known Emil Buehler Mach 3 wind tunnel is located at Rutgers, the State of New Jersey university, which in 1974 conferred on Emil Buehler the title of Eminent Engineer. His legacy of philanthropic commitment extends to a number of leading educational institutions, including Bergen Community College. Mr. Buehler died in 1983.

(1899-1983)

Emil Buehler

(1947- ) Born and raised on Alexandria Field Airport,

Linda Fritsche Castner's legacy is as a pioneer in developing and implementing non-traditional outreach programs at public-use airports. She's been a private pilot since she was 17 and is an Advanced Ground Instructor. Her company “Up, Up, and Away in Hunterdon, Inc.” provides innovative, aviation themed content to participants as diverse as Pre-K students through corporate and academic professionals. Castner is a passionate advocate for the latent potential small airports have to become valued community assets for STEM education. Among Linda's aviation accomplishments she is Co-Owner/Operator of Alexandria Field (N85), Master Aviation Educator (since 2015). The MAE is an achievement that few ever earn. She is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Association Board of Directors. Linda produced the Magic of Alexandria Balloon Festival for ten years (1989-1998) donating $210,000 to charities. She has written numerous articles and aviation program grants. The largest was in 2010 the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education program grant for a total of $150,000 for which she served as the Program Director.

Colonel Arthur E. Martone(1923- )

Flying a P-40 on his 166 mission, ironically on June 6 , 1944, Arthur was shot down eighty-miles behind enemy lines in Monte Cristo, Italy. Bailing out, although injured he was found and kept alive by Italian Partisans until American troops retook the area. For his service, Colonel Martone was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Purple Heart. He was honorably discharged in November of 1945. In 1947, Colonel Martone joined the Air National Guard, the 119 Fighter Squadron flying P-47s. Arthur was recalled to active duty during the Korean Conflict. After the end of the Korean War, he assigned to the 141 Tactical Fighter Squadron, McGuire AFB flying F-84S; being recalled to active duty in 1961-1962 serving in France with the 141 Tactical Squadron flying 2,811 sorties. IN 1969, Arthur was promoted to Colonel. While at McGuire he served in many staff positions including eight-years as Director of Operations and Special Assistant to the Commander of the 108 Tactical Fighter Wing. In June of 1980, after serving with great distinction Colonel Martone retired. In 1986, he was honored with his name being placed on the F-84 he flew at a dedication aboard the USS Intrepid. In retirement the Colonel was a member of the Monmouth Flying Club serving as Treasurer and President for ten-years. He is still active as a speaker.

Colonel Arthur E. Martone a life-long New Jersey resident, enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942 and completed his training in 1943 as a fighter pilot. The

colonel flew 166 combat mission during WWII.

Growing up in Queens, NY, next to LaGuardia Airport, Huntley developed a passion for aviation. As a young man, he attended an aviation program offered at Public School 127, and those early years were foundational in his lifelong passion for aviation. As a student at August Martin High School, Huntley selected a curriculum that provided him the opportunity to learn and excel in all aspects of aviation. His passion for aviation continued as a student at Florida Institute of Technology. He worked for the Port Authority as an intern while still in high school, and began his full-time career with the agency after his graduation from FIT. In the years that followed, Huntley held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility in airport operations at John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, and LaGuardia airports. Following 9/11, the Short Hills, NJ resident helped manage the transition at Newark Liberty from civilian security under the FAA to oversight by the newly created U.S. Transportation Security Administration. He became General Manger for New Jersey Airports in 2011, Deputy Director of Aviation in 2014, and Director of Aviation in January 2017. As Director, Huntley is responsible for managing one of the world's largest airport systems, comprising JFK, Newark Liberty, LaGuardia, Teterboro, and New York Stewart International airports. The airport system serves tens of millions of passengers annually while supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and generating billions of dollars in economic activity for the New York/New Jersey region
