I got to catch a ride with some fellow Coastie pilots. LT. Derrick Hendrickson is arguably the best USCG pilot! This is the Hu-25 Guardian (a Falcon Jet) landing on Runway 09L at Coast Guard Air Station Miami (Opa-Locka Airport). "The HU-25 Falcon Jet is a medium-range surveillance fixed-wing aircraft. The HU-25 (A), HU-25 (B), and HU-25 (C) are three variants of the HU-25; the primary difference is in the installed sensor package (uscg.mil)."

Thanks for Subscribing!! Alvaro Fanfarrón is back boasting and bragging about his hometown Miami Heat, whom he cheers for rabidly. Unfortunately Alvaro isn't very sports knowledgeable and needs YOUR help to find his beloved El Bran Jain (how he calls LeBron James). He's looking all over Miami -- from Opa Locka to South Beach and still can't find Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade. Although he's sure that the Miami Heat will win the Super Bowl he doesn't know where they play. OFFICIAL LULU COMEDY WEBSITE COMING SOON Watch and see as Alvaro shows off his "El Bron #6" Jersey and laugh as he mispronounces names by saying "Duein Wei & Cri Boch" Please Subscribe, Rate and Comment. Also share this video with all of your friends and family! MUSIC - "Back on Track" by Kevin MacLeod incompetech.com

Brakes released, airplane taxis to the runway for engine run ups, prior to high speed taxi tests. This airplane was one of the 49 delivered, of the 50 ordered by Eastern Airlines. It is equipped with 60 seats as was the Golden Falcon, but retains the Red Falcon paint scheme it came with originally.
