Narrative:
Approximately 125 mi south of mia at FL350, I noticed the right engine oil pressure light flicker. I told the captain, and we both observed the engine oil pressure dropping rapidly to zero, followed by the engine oil quantity dropping to zero. We performed our applicable checklists and shut down the right engine. We declared an emergency with ZMA and diverted to land at mia. The entire process from shut down to approach, landing, taxi in, and parking were normal. This is the first engine shutdown in over 22 yrs of commercial flying for me.
