Tanker 140, rolling out of Port Alberni like it’s the opening scene of a movie. You can't deny it. Vortices in the rain. It's poetry in motion. #CoulsonAviation #Tanker140 #C130 #AerialFirefighting #AviationLovers

🔈 🎧 Six rotor blades chopping the air. Thousands of gallons dropping from the sky dousing a fire... Now that’s music to our ears. #CoulsonAviation #CH47 #AviationLovers #Aviation #Helicopter

At Climate Week NYC, we called for wildfire suppression to be part of the global climate strategy. Without addressing fire, decades of progress can be undone in just one season. Stay tuned for the release of our presentation. #ClimateWeekNYC #CoulsonAviation #AerialFirefighitng

On July 31 our Citation pilot Nate flew with the @forestservice as Josh earned his Air Attack sign-off ✅ Experience shared, knowledge passed down, and the next generation ready to lead in the fight against wildfires. Congrats Josh! #AirAttack #USFS #CoulsonAviation #Citation

Apologies for slime in the tanks? Maybe. Apologies for Pony Air Tankers? Definitely. Apologies for knowing girls belong in aviation? Never. 💪✈️ Happy #GirlsInAviationDay!

Fresno saw the full QRF force on the Garnet Fire. Day and night, our Chinooks tagged ridge lines, attacked head on, and kept the drops flowing with mobile bases. N40CU, N42CU, N43CU looking sharp together. 😍 #CoulsonAviation #HeliTankers #QRF #AerialFirefighting #GarnetFire
