Hydraulics Airmen ‘pump brakes’ on aircraft danger
Senior Airman Jacob Osborne, 86th Maintenance Squadron hydraulics systems journeyman, tests a C-130J Super Hercules emergency brake line on Ramstein Air Base, Oct. 21, 2014. In case the main hydraulics system fails, the emergency line will automatically apply pressure to the brakes, slowing down the aircraft to safety.
