External Affairs Community Involvement

Air Station Miami External Affairs Division is actively engaged in highlighting Coast Guard careers, missions and achievements to people throughout the southeast United States and beyond.  Coast Guard Air Station Miami is an active partner in the South Florida community.  In 2007 we participated in 3 air shows, 10 SAR demonstrations, 16 static displays, 11 career days, 13 fly overs and hosted 18 hangar tours.  This provided first hand exposure to Coast Guard capabilities, missions and careers to over 1.9 million people in 2007.
