"We will have our C-130 Hercules and Boeing 737 air tanker fleet training from May 9th to May 14th flying up to 50 training flights," said Wayne Coulson, CEO of Coulson Aviation. "We are extremely pleased to have the support of the Palm Springs Air Museum and the Palm Springs Airport."

"The Air Museum will be supporting Coulson with the Museum's infrastructure and will have one of Coulson's C-130 Hercules on display from May 9th to May 14th," said Fred Bell, Vice Chairman of the Palm Springs Air Museum. https://palmspringsairmuseum.org

50 flight crew and 20 maintenance crew are expected to work at different times throughout the training period.
