When I was with the MCAS Yuma. We always had the dreaded C-130 one engine out call. There was always the hurry up & wait factor for nothing to happen! this kind of thing happens with multi. engined aircraft!

I can't begin to tell you how many in-flight emrgencies my ambulances responded to in the USAF. Seemed like 3 per week.

"B-1B heavy, tail number 0768 reports hydraulic failure. Declaring emergency, 4 souls on board. 14,000 lbs fuel. No category 1 assets. Landing runway 090. Foxtrot will handle commentary. Ambulance 6 contact Chief 1 on Fire/Safety channel for instructions."
