1999 - Aerial view of Miami International Airport from United Airlines B777-222ER N792UA taking off

Miami International Airport


B777-222ER N792UA taking off from MIA on a rainy day to fly overhead Key West and return with deserving children from Dade County on a "Fantasy Flight to the North Pole." The aircraft had no cargo, no baggage, minimum fuel for the trip and mostly children onboard so we lifted off quite rapidly. After flying down the Overseas Highway (US1) at 4000 feet we circled Key West a couple of times and flew back to MIA, arriving on a different gate that was decorated as the North Pole with Santa to greet the kids.

Concourse G is on the right side, along with the tail of an Aerolineas Argentinas B747, Concourse F is in the right middle foreground, Concourse E and the E-Satellite in the lower middle, and Concourse D and the remote parking positions behind that. The new Avborne hangars are going up in the background on the left side and Commodore Aviation (former Eastern L1011 hangar) has several aircraft parked in it and around it.
