One GA as pax, one emergency return as aircrew.

GA on a TWA MD-80 inbound to Sea-Tac when the nose gear failed to lock down on initial gear extension. Crew elected to abandon the approach while working the gear issue. Gear locked down on second extension attempt and landing was uneventful.

Was loadmaster on C-5A that lost #1 engine on initial climbout from Rhein-Main. I was in the cargo compartment disinsecting (i.e. setting off "bug bombs") and felt the lateral lurch when engine failed, confirmed by #1 fire handle out when I passed the flight deck en route back to a seat. Three-engine return and landing was nominal.
