Another 'almost' for the L1011 was over the Arabian Gulf, enroute KHI.
A wheel burst in the wheel well at FL290, ruptured the pressure hull, and disabled three of four hydraulic systems.
The airplane was diverted to DOH, with only system D fluid remaining, and landed very nicely by the First Officer...which was required, due to the Captains pole then being unserviceable.
SV trained for this procedure at each sim detail for F/O's...the quite good training showed when the chips were down.
