K.I. SAWYER -- Crews at Sawyer International Airport had quite the scare late Tuesday afternoon.
At 5:20p.m., an Air National Guard KC135 Refueling airplane made an emergency landing at Sawyer International Airport. "It
was just a minor hydraulic issue. Of course caution is the lead reason
we went all out with the fire trucks," said Duane Duray, Sawyer
International Airport Manager.
As soon as it rolled onto the tarmac, the aircraft was greeted by about a dozen fire trucks, ambulances, and police.
"We're
fortunate that we didn't have an accident occur. The aircraft came in,
landed safely. A lot more hustle and bustle going with other responding
agencies. It was good to see they were all able to make it out and have a
better ending than a big fire crash," said John Rowe, Firefighting
Training Officer for Sawyer International Airport.
