Narrative:

As we taxied out for departure, we heard ground control talking about an emergency landing being planned for a C130 because of gear door problems. They were escorted by an A7 (not sure). Ground commented that the C130 was 20 mi to the west and 5 mins out. We took off about 2 mins later after being cleared for departure. We heard that the C130 was to land in the opposite direction from our takeoff. We assumed that we had plenty of time to depart and clear the area before the C130 landed. We climbed to 5000 ft MSL and were told to switch to departure. When we contacted departure we were told to turn to a 180 degree heading which was commenced with the autoplt on. As I started the turn we got an RA to descend at 3000 FPM which we did. As we started to descend, I noticed that the aircraft was at our altitude and within 1 mi. We descended to 4000 ft before the TCASII reported clear of traffic. We just assumed that the tower and departure control were aware of the arriving emergency aircraft and that they would steer us away from the traffic after departure. We should have queried the tower before departing, where the traffic was located, so we could have helped in clearing the area sooner.

Title: FO OF A CPR JET DSNDED IN RESPONSE TO A TCASII RA, DURING DEP CLB. THIS PROVIDED SEPARATION WITH A MIL C130, INBOUND, WITH AN EMER DUE TO A LNDG GEAR PROB.

Narrative: AS WE TAXIED OUT FOR DEP, WE HEARD GND CTL TALKING ABOUT AN EMER LNDG BEING PLANNED FOR A C130 BECAUSE OF GEAR DOOR PROBS. THEY WERE ESCORTED BY AN A7 (NOT SURE). GND COMMENTED THAT THE C130 WAS 20 MI TO THE W AND 5 MINS OUT. WE TOOK OFF ABOUT 2 MINS LATER AFTER BEING CLRED FOR DEP. WE HEARD THAT THE C130 WAS TO LAND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM OUR TKOF. WE ASSUMED THAT WE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO DEPART AND CLR THE AREA BEFORE THE C130 LANDED. WE CLBED TO 5000 FT MSL AND WERE TOLD TO SWITCH TO DEP. WHEN WE CONTACTED DEP WE WERE TOLD TO TURN TO A 180 DEG HDG WHICH WAS COMMENCED WITH THE AUTOPLT ON. AS I STARTED THE TURN WE GOT AN RA TO DSND AT 3000 FPM WHICH WE DID. AS WE STARTED TO DSND, I NOTICED THAT THE ACFT WAS AT OUR ALT AND WITHIN 1 MI. WE DSNDED TO 4000 FT BEFORE THE TCASII RPTED CLR OF TFC. WE JUST ASSUMED THAT THE TWR AND DEP CTL WERE AWARE OF THE ARRIVING EMER ACFT AND THAT THEY WOULD STEER US AWAY FROM THE TFC AFTER DEP. WE SHOULD HAVE QUERIED THE TWR BEFORE DEPARTING, WHERE THE TFC WAS LOCATED, SO WE COULD HAVE HELPED IN CLRING THE AREA SOONER.
