Coulson Aviation is pleased to announce that the company has received a firefighting contract to continue supporting Southern California’s Quick Reaction Force (QRF) year-round. Since starting with the QRF, Coulson has flown over 700 hours - 60% of that time at night using NVGs - and dropped more than 4.5 million gallons of water on just under 200 wildfires. Every fire Coulson fought with the QRF was successfully extinguished in its initial burn - none have expanded into large campaign fires. The contract includes three Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, the world's largest Helitankers, a Sikorsky S-76 intelligence and recon helicopter, and full flight and maintenance crews. The aircraft operate around the clock. The Coulson Crew looks forward to serving Southern California through 2024 and beyond! https://lnkd.in/g_KrzDAk
