New 737-700 to Become Most Modern, Advanced Narrowbody Firefighter Yet

Firefighting specialist Coulson Aviation has shown off the newest addition to their fleet, a former Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700. The new aircraft is a first for the team, since prior Fireliners were built on a 737-300 platform until now. Coulson notes that so far, every one of its aircraft come courtesy of Southwest Airlines, a carrier that's always been a sort of poster boy for the narrowbody Boeings. The Next Gen Fireliner will improve on the older mods' payload and capability, thanks to those trickle-down updates from the -700.  It'll sport a 5,000 gallon payload, lower fuel burn, improved endurance, and higher speeds across the board.
