-Snowbird 5, Ground, roger. Just stand by for a moment. The emergency vehicles are just setting up for a stand by positions for the next lander, then I'm sure they'll head back for a proper inspection
-Okay, check remarks. If RED 1 is able to commence the inspection as soon as possible, that'd be good for us. 'Cause if there is a hydraulic leak, then we'd like to shut that airplane down as soon as possible.

[11:55]
- Roger, Snowbird 5, we're heading to your aircraft right now to investigate if you have a leak.
- Okay, check remarks! Yeah, and I do see now what looks like a small pool forming under the engine, so I am anticipating a potential hydraulic leak. He has engines his running so just proceed with caution, we'll maintain position. My number 9 will be pulling up to my left hand side shortly.
