Coulson T-132, one of Coulson's C-130 Hercules air tankers, has recently finished her 2023 contract with the US Forest Service and is currently undergoing maintenance. When this maintenance is completed she will go to Australia, perhaps by cargo ship, where she will go on contract with New South Wales in Australia for their summer fire season. She will be based in Richmond, New South Wales. See this March 2023 article in SkiesMag for more information on Coulson's fleet of C-130's. Coulson's C-130 Hercules air tankers have a 4,000 gallon RADS-XXL tanking system that can be rolled on and off the tanker.
