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.
