The Brown Field Air Unit mission is the eye in the sky for the Coast Guard and Drug Enforcement and can serve a humanitarian mission at times. The helicopter is used to drop water to the very suspects they are trying to catch. NBC 7’s Dave Summers took a fly-along in a Customs and Border Protection helicopter for this exclusive story.
