They landed safely at MSN on runway 36. It was the return leg of a lifeguard flight from SDL to MKE.
Thx for the info 250.

Interesting discussion followed my initial question. The truth is I just wanted to know the outcome, even though I was reasonably certain it worked out fine. Even though it may be just 'part of the job' as a professional pilot to stay cool, it still is impressive in the same way that firefighters go into burning buildings without a second thought or police officers walk up to a car they just pulled over at night not knowing what they'll find. At the end of the day, all of those people will have a beer and say it was just part of the job.

That's the impressive part.

Chill out dude! He is right it does happen. I have had a dozen or so flame outs on the old cj-610's. Fairly common on those old lears and a couple of engines go south on me in the MU-2,a Navajo, and a couple on the 747. As long as it's not right when you rotate or your on fire it really is no big deal. If you fly long long enough you will come to realize engine failures/pre-cautionary shoutdowns do just happen. Often!;)

Engine go out on an MU-2 and you are still alive? Wow, according to others on this board I did not think this was possible.:beer:
