Miami Executive Aviation

I jump-seated on one of my planes to pick up freight at Opa Locka, Florida (KOPF) and we used the services of Miami Executive Aviation.  

From the moment we got there, they were right on task.  We were parked and the truck that had our freight was positioned quickly.  The forklift operator was quick and efficient.  He even turned the pallets so that the crew could move them more easily!

As we were loading, our fuel was being taken care of to ensure the shortest ground time.  After we were all loaded and fueled, we went into the FBO to do paperwork.  The facility was clean and was very open.  All of the furniture was leather, even!  It was quite a bit more upscale than I'm used to, but considering the number of private, international flights that they must service, it was quite amazing.

 When the crew asked about the runway that they preferred being closed, the manager made a call and then it became available to us.  All we had to do after that was advise the controller that we had arrangements to use that runway.

Overall they were quick, efficient, and friendly.  Anything that they could do to help us out was no problem for them.  I would love to go back!
