N134CG Aircraft Incident

While working in the Snowy Monaro Area in southern NSW, Australia contact was lost 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 families of the three crew members onboard.

Sincerely

The Coulson Family
