May the 4th be with you! Whether it’s fighting wildfires or fighting the Empire, we’ve got the crew, the aircraft, and the force on our side. Here’s to the real-life rebels in the sky, and a galaxy (not so) far, far away. #coulsonaviation #coulsoncrew  #starwarsday

To firefighters everywhere, thank you. Whether on the ground or in the sky, your courage and commitment make all the difference. We’re proud to stand beside you today and every day. #internationalfirefightersday #coulsonaviation #thankyoufirefighters

Golden hour hits different when it ends with a smooth C-130 touchdown. Sunset skies, solid landings - just another beautiful day in the life of the Coulson Crew. #coulsonaviation #c130

When a drop this smooth meets the power of a Coulson 737 FireLiner, you get results. Precision. Capacity. Impact. #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefighting

For those who’ve followed from Port Alberni—this one’s for you. The Philippine Mars is being reassembled at the Pima Air & Space Museum. She may never fly again, but she continues to inspire and is far from forgotten. #coulsonaviation #philippinemars #aerialfirefighting

Tanker 131 is in for some routine maintenance, with the Coulson Crew making sure everything's dialed in before she heads back out on duty. A little downtime now keeps it mission-ready when it matters most. #coulsonaviation #coulsoncrew #aerialfirefighting #c130

Training never stops when precision matters. Tanker 131 recently teamed up with the RFS lead plane for some formation work and drop coordination. It’s all about timing, trust, and keeping those skills razor-sharp for when it counts most. #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefigthing

For the first time in Canada, Coulson is flying live-fire night ops with our NVG-equipped S-61 helitanker, supporting BC Wildfire Service. This 70-day contract brings our proven global experience to BC. Full release: f.mtr.cool/thcqrbfibx #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefighting

Tanker 133 and 138 are on the move in Oregon, supporting the Alder Springs Fire near Redmond and Upper Applegate Fire near Medford. From coordinated drops to quick turnarounds, the Coulson Crew doing what they do best. #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefighting

Ain’t no party like a C-130 party… because a C-130 party means business. "Herc-a-mania" hits the tarmac with Tanker 131 and our two latest New Zealand Hercs ready to join the Coulson fleet. Shoutout to Surface 2 Air Photography for the shot! #coulsonaviation #c130

Tanker 137 and Tanker 138 side by side in Cedar City, Utah. Two powerful platforms, one mission. Both capable of delivering 4,000 gallons, the 737 Fireliner and C-130 exemplify the strength and versatility of Coulson’s unmatched aerial firefighting fleet. #T137 #T138

The Coulson Hercs are heading to the Turkey Fire near Prescott, AZ, sparked earlier today by a lightning strike. Grateful for the aerial support and all the crews working to contain the fire. Stay safe out there! #coulsonaviation #coulsoncrew  #c130

Happy Canada Day from the Coulson Crew! Our reach is global but our roots are Canadian. Grateful for where it all began. #coulsonaviation #canadaday

There’s just something about a Hercules in action. Tanker 138 made a clean, powerful drop supporting the Wolf Fire in California on June 28. Big thanks to IG user wysserman for the epic shot! #coulsonaviation  #c130 #aerialfirefighting #wolffire

The work is critical. The view? Unmatched. 🎥 Tanker 137 over France Canyon, delivering a drop just as the sun dipped below the ridge. Thanks to IG user jackson1metcalf for this clip! #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefighting

What makes Coulson’s C-130 drops so effective? It starts with the RADS-XXL. Take a quick look under the wing, then head to YouTube for the full walkaround: youtu.be/l4FMJI5mKqw #coulsonaviation #c130 #aerialfirefighting

Coulson CH-47 Helitankers in action on the Archer & Rancho Fires in California. Built for the mission, backed by the best crews in the air. #coulsonaviation #ch47 #aerialfirefighting  📸: p.e.s.t.o & bd_fpi via instagram

Just a training drop? Not when it’s the 737 FireLiner. Watch how the Coulson Crew brings the same focus and intensity to training as we do to the mission - because getting it right in training sets the tone for the real thing. #coulsonaviation #b737 #aerialfirefighting

When the canyon calls, Coulson answers. Tanker 137 showing off with a seriously clean drop over the Deer Creek Fire earlier this month. Appreciate IG user taco1ton for getting the goods and sending them our way! #coulsonaviation #b737 #aerialfirefighting

Snorkel in. Water up. CH-47 helitanker N42CU goes to work during the Euclid Fire with a steady hover and fast fill. Big thanks to IG user jplusonephoto for capturing this powerful moment in action. #coulsonaviation #aerialfirefighting #ch47
