Narrative:
We were returning to home base with the crew onboard only. [We] had been in the air for about an hour. We were level at FL370. All was well with no indications of any problems. Our first indications were a failure of the left and right windshield heat; failure of the left and right window heat; left generator fail; low hydraulic press both left and right side; main hydraulic press low. All of this took place in less than 30 seconds. We asked ATC for the closest airport with a long runway. They advised an airport was off the nose at 178 miles. It then became our destination. While descending for the approach we accomplished all the required checklist in the QRH for this situation. Landing was accomplished with no problems and no damage to the aircraft.
