USAF Cessna O-2A Skymaster Forward Air Controller Aircraft in Flight, Vietnam War Era

A USAF Cessna O-2A Skymaster banks over the Southeast Asian countryside. Flown by Forward Air Controllers, the O-2A's distinctive twin-boom design and push-pull engines made it a familiar sight coordinating strike aircraft and directing A-1 Skyraider rescue escorts during the Vietnam War.
