THE MARTIN MARS & COULSON AVIATION

The Coulson team received many inquiries about the Martin Mars because people across Canada have been negatively affected by wildfires early this fire season.

Our time with the Martin Mars has been an incredible experience.

As a family-owned company, we were blessed to acquire these aircraft along with some very talented aviators in 2007 from Timberwest and its subsidiary, Forest Industrial Flying Tankers (FIFT). When we took ownership of both the Hawaii and Philippine Mars, they were in pristine condition.
