Opa Locka was a location in the [[Miami]], [[Florida]] area connected to [[Contras|Contra]] operations and aircraft used in the drug trafficking and weapons supply network. The area's aviation facilities made it a convenient base for pilots involved in the Contra supply chain.[^1]
### Aviation Hub
Opa Locka's airfield served as one of the aviation facilities in the Miami area used by pilots connected to both the [[Central Intelligence Agency]]'s Contra supply operations and the [[cocaine]] trafficking networks that funded them. The proximity to Miami International Airport and the cluster of aviation-related businesses in the area, including [[DIACSA]], made Opa Locka part of the infrastructure supporting the dual weapons-for-drugs shuttle between [[Central America]] and the [[United States]].[^2]
