An alignment system for images produced by cameras externally mounted on an aircraft includes a visual display positioned at a first location in the aircraft (such as a flight deck) and an alignment device positioned at a second location in the aircraft (such as an electronics bay). The visual display displays images provided by the cameras. The alignment device includes a user interface, which includes user inputs for selecting one of the cameras and for aligning an image from the camera selected on the visual display, a depiction of an aircraft, and indicators positioned adjacent the depiction. Each of the indicators represents selection of one of the cameras for aligning the image from that camera on the visual display.
