Coulson Aviation operates a fleet of aircraft for firefighting, including 5 Sikorsky helicopters, 1 Sikorsky command helicopter, 1 Martin Mars water bomber, and 1 Lockheed C-130Q air tanker. The C-130Q was purchased in 2011 and underwent a full conversion including a FAA-certified 3,500 gallon retardant tank system. The C-130Q can carry 3,500 gallons of retardant and has advantages over other tanker aircraft like faster retardant dumping and multi-mission capabilities.
