I was on a C-130 flying from Cherry Point to Lajes, Azores, in 1968. The number two engine threw a turbine blade into a fuel line causing a major fire. We were well past the point of no return. We eventually extinguished the fire and landed just fine at Lajes AFB on three engines. It took a week to get a new engine from Cherry Point. We had a high time in Lajes for a week.

I wouldn't want to land in a C-130 having only one operating engine.
