I'm not saying don't pursue it if you want it, just that it's a likely cause as to why Blue 21 went away.

Other missions are law enforcement (both migrant interdiction and counter drug ops) and maritime security patrols. We don't typically do border patrol, CBP has that one covered.
It's a great airplane with great versatility.
