Seagull Tango is on a distinguished road
I recall a lesson I learned years ago about a high altitude engine out in a Skymaster, which was relayed by the late Carlos Tabernilla, a great 337 pilot. He lost an engine at higher altitude and, true to the book, pushed the mixtures, props and throttles all the way forward as the first step.... And the second engine immediately cut out, flooded from too rich mixture.

He got the engine restarted just fine, declared an emergency choose a nearby field and landed with the dead engine feathered. He told me that the sudden silence was a real shock, though as high as he was, he had something like 15 minutes to trouble shoot the problem and get the engine restarted, gliding down....
