Full Story
Fighter jets intercepted two civilian planes entering restricted airspace above President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Saturday, March 8 and Sunday, March 9.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, deployed two fighter pilots to warn the civilian aircraft they were in restricted airspace.
When did the incidents occur?
On Saturday, a civilian plane flew over Mar-a-Lago, forcing NORAD to intercept the aircraft. Then, on Sunday, another civilian aircraft entered the temporary flight restriction zone.
NORAD’s Commander General Gregory Guillot appeared to blame lack of attention to detail from pilots for the airspace violations.
Guillot said in a statement that following temporary flight restrictions “procedures is essential to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the president. The procedures are not optional and the excessive number of recent TFR violations indicates many civil aviators are not reading Notice to Airmen or NOTAMS, before each flight as required by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).”
