Autavia GMT, USAF Ace Jeffrey Feinstein

Dear Heuerfans, recently saw this fantastic photo and put some research into it, thanks to Billy and Mike from the MWR Forum for identifying the pilots name.
Jeffrey Feinstein was a big ace flying Phantoms during the Vietnam war.

Colonel (USAF Retired) Jeffrey S. Feinstein was a career officer in the United States Air Force. In 1972 during the Vietnam War, while flying as a weapon systems officer (WSO) aboard F-4 Phantom IIs, Feinstein downed five enemy aircraft, thereby becoming a flying ace, the last ace produced by the USAF.[1]

Feinstein graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1968. His actions, for which he received multiple awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Silver Star for his first four kills and the Air Force Cross for his fifth kill, took place prior to and during Operation Linebacker in 1972 while Feinstein was a member of the 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron, part of the 432d Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, based at Udon Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand.

His nickname/tactical callsign was "Fang." Having originally been designated as an Air Force Navigator, he was given a vision waiver after Vietnam, sent to Undergraduate Pilot Training and redesignated as an Air Force pilot in the fighter community.
