Senior Airman Jacob Osborne, 86th Maintenance Squadron hydraulics systems journeyman, applies electrical power to a C-130J Super Hercules Oct. 21 on Ramstein. In order to check the hydraulic systems before or after a flight, the hydraulics journeymen must turn on the electrical systems and check the hydraulics from the cockpit as well as outside of the aircraft.

In case the main hydraulics system fails, the emergency line will automatically apply pressure to the brakes, slowing down the aircraft. There are two emergency brake systems on every C-130J Super Hercules.
