Jeffrey Steinberg

Jeff worked for me at Danbury Airways during one of his furloughs at American Airlines. He was a great pilot and a good friend. My son John, also a AaA pilot, just informed me of Jeff's passing. My condolences Brenda to you and your family. John

I flew with Jeff several times on the venerable 727. He always paid attention to detail and made sure we ran a smooth and safe operation. His dedication to the craft was admirable. I hope I was able to carry a bit of that with me through the rest of my career. I pass my condolences to the family.

During the furlough (1981-1983) Jeff and I flew the Cessna Citation business jet for a company in Danbury, Connecticut. One afternoon we heard the Space Shuttle's B747 on our frequency. Jeff was flying, and soon we were in route formation with the NASA flight with the shuttle piggyback descending for a flyby of Manhattan for Fleet Week. We stayed with them from for 10 minutes, then flew VFR up the CT coast. We were two airline pilots let loose in our own private jet. Jeff was always up for a...
