Lightbulb C5 Galaxy emergency landing at Santiago Spain

This morning I was flying in Madrid 135,95 sector between Lotee and Demos, when a Rich callsign aircraft, I believe it is the USAF, made an emergency call due to a nose wheel well fire indication. The aircraft diverted to Santiago de Compostela in Northwest Spain.
The aircraft was a Galaxy C5

Does anyone knows details about it? Is it still in LEST?

Doesn`t the USAF have enroute alternates and airport analisys... I couldn`t believe what I was hearing, the other aircraft on the frequency had to provide the crew with the LOC frequency, field elevation, runway lenght, etc... That`s not for the USAF

Cheers!!!
