Mayday, Mayday, Mayday

Very soon after airborne out of Sig when the No2 gulped its oil and had to be shut down. Eng still going through the checks when we get a"rib 2 overheat" on the other side. Immediate actions include throttle back the engines on that side. So heavy and on one engine, we were going down...

Co-pilot puts out the mayday to Sig ATC, Eng runs the checks...

Fortunately, once the air supply leavers were shut, the problem went away and the engines could be throttled up, but for a few moments...
