Coulson Aviation press release text - can't post URLs yet
While working in the Snowy Monaro Area in southern NSW, Australia contact was lots with one of our large airtankers, a Lockheed C-130 registration N134CG.
The aircraft had departed Richmond, NSW with a load of retardant and was on a firebombing mission. The accident is reported to be extensive and we are deeply saddened to confirm there were 3 fatalities.
The accident response team has been activated as well as local emergency services, Coulson Aviation will be sending a team to the site to assist in emergency operations. Our thoughts and prayers are with the familes of the three crew members onboard.
Sincerely,
The Coulson Family
