Coulson buys 10 C-130 Hercules aircraft from Canada for firefighting fleet

Coulson Aviation Canada recently completed the purchase of ten former Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CC-130H Hercules aircraft. The acquisition represents a significant investment by Coulson, marking their entry into the specialized aerial firefighting market. These aircraft were previously operated by the RCAF and are now being repurposed for use in combating wildfires across North America. Coulson plans to modify these C-130s with advanced fire suppression systems, enhancing their capabilities for rapid response operations. This strategic move allows Coulson to leverage established military hardware while addressing growing demand for large-capacity air tankers.
