Gunsight/Ranging Reticle View of Four-Engine Jet Aircraft in Flight

Viewed through an aircraft's optical gunsight, a large four-engine jet is framed within the '100 MILS' ranging reticle. Images like this were captured during intercept training, gunnery practice, or refueling approaches, giving a rare glimpse of the pilot's-eye view during Vietnam-era flight operations. Project: 218896
