The aircraft will fly to Idaho on Tuesday to get its aviation inspection before being put to work in the U.S. and then Australia on a multi-year contract.

Coulson Aviation completed the conversion of its third Boeing 737 aircraft into a flying tanker to fight fires, and invited family members of employees who worked on the aircraft to celebrate the achievement.

"It's a very unique airplane," said company co-president Britt Coulson."This is only the third 737 large air tanker in the world." Coulson says the aircraft will be used in the U.S. until the end of November before being sent to Australia on a multi-year contract.
