Coulson Aviation Canada has acquired 10 former Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CC-130H Hercules aircraft, which it will be converting to water-bomber configuration.

Coulson already operates 10 C-130Hs, so this acquisition is practically doubling its fleet.

Coulson Aviation Canada will lead the conversion program in British Columbia, including engineering, certification, modification, maintenance, training and flight operations.

Bring our Birds Home, one of the most ambitious projects in historic civil aviation at the moment, has hit a major milestone with the signing of the contract for the dismantling of DC-8-52 PP-TPC at Manaus Brazil, so it can be shipped back to New Zealand. The aircraft is the only surviving former Air New Zealand DC-8, with registration ZK-NZC.

The plan is to repatriate the aircraft, restore and reassemble it, as part of an effort to recover six former New Zealand-operated airliners, namely the DC-8, a 737-200, an HS748 and a DC-10-30, and later a 747-400 and an Electra.

Boeing has finally received FAA certification for its B737-7, clearing the aircraft to enter commercial service.

Launch customer Southwest Airlines, which has 258 on order, has been eagerly waiting to receive the type in order to introduce a more fuel efficient aircraft with a lower capacity. Entry into service is expected in early 2027.

First flown in March 2018, the 737-7 was expected to enter into service much sooner, but following the FAA's revocation of Boeing's self-certification authority in the aftermath of the MAX8 crashes, the aircraft came under additional scrutiny.
