    TAMPA -- Fire-rescue workers scrambled at Tampa International Airport on Friday morning to meet a small U.S. Coast Guard twin-engine jet that diverted there after an engine overheated.

    The Falcon 20 landed safely with four people aboard but had to be towed to Raytheon Aircraft Services on the field. No one was injured.

    The plane landed at TIA at 11 a.m.
