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. There are two emergency brake systems on every C-130J Super Hercules. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Michael Stuart)
