Moved to mainspace by GMH Melbourne (talk). Self-nominated at 14:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2020 Coulson Aviation Lockheed C-130 Hercules crash; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]
New enough (moved to mainspace on the same day of the nomination), has sufficient length, no copyright violation concerns per Earwig. Hook is interesting and sourced, it also appears in the article. Image is freely used, clear, and used in article. No QPQ required–this is the nominator's fourth DYK nomination. Good work on the article! ~ TailsWx02:57, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thank you so much for your review and sorry for the delay in replying.
I have tried to add to the lede but unfortunately I couldn't find much to add to it. I have looked at other aviation accident FAs and found that an extra paragraph is usually added to the lede when there is more circumstance to the accident (ie. a search, hijacking, etc.). Is there anything else you recommend I add?
I will added an aftermath section momentarily.
about 58 km to the east of Adaminaby. Suggest using the convert template on this to give imperial. Done
Suggest merging the three headings in the "Victims" section to prevent one-paragraph sections, per MOS:OVERSECTION. Done
Information on the foundation created in McBeth's memory should be included. Done
@GMH Melbourne: These recommendations are good, but what happened after? Were any of these recommendations put in place, and if so how? The article should describe how this crash changed (or did not change) aviation policy or procedures. There can also be information about its legacy by mentioning the charity set up in one of the victim's memory. Z1720 (talk) 14:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: I have added the aftermath section detailing what has been done since the accident, what policies have changed as a result, and also info about the foundation. Also note I have added a couple of images (all available under Creative Commons + I also added ALTs to them). GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:56, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
