Sad news, the Coulson crews are well respected.
The C-130s had several wing failure crashes in the late 1990's/early 2000s, that grounded the firefighting fleet. It wasnt till Coulson that any were back flying. I know when the U.S. Forest service was set to acquire some from the USAF that wing box replacement was a requirement before acceptance.
I'm hoping this is not another wing failure.
