F-4E RTB Fuel Summary Table, 366 TFW Manual, Change 1 (15 Sep 71)

This fuel planning table from the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing's 1971 'DaNang Inflight Aid' manual gave F-4E Phantom crews the fuel requirements to safely return to base under a wide range of ordnance loadouts, from napalm and cluster bombs to conventional Mk 82 and Mk 84 bombs. Printed on bright yellow paper for rapid visual identification within the pocket manual, this table was essential for mission planning, ensuring aircrews carried adequate fuel reserves for the return flight after a Vietnam War combat strike.
