BOEING 737-300 (N137CG) - This Coulson Group B733 "Fireliner" (N137CG, ex-Southwest N617SW) is captured as it sits on the Atlantic Aviation ramp in the shadow of the Reno-Tahoe International control tower.br /The Coulson Group acquired six older model 737s from Southwest Airlines and are converting them into firebombers. This one, Tail #137, arrived at RNO on Saturday afternoon and I was contacted to photograph it. At sunrise the next morning, as the shadow of the control tower was momentarily stretched out far enough to "blanket" this awesome aircraft, I snapped this shot.
