US Air Force F-16 fighters forced to intercept 2 aircraft that invaded Mar-a-Lago airspace
Air Force F-16 fighter jets have been scrambled to intercept aircraft that invaded the airspace over President Trumpās Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida ā the second time thatās happened in 48 hours, NORAD says.
A civilian aircraft flew into the no-fly zone over the property at around 1:15 p.m. Sunday, according to aĀ statement.
The fighter jets fired flares to warn the pilots to move out of the area, the military said.
The aircraft was then escorted out of the area.
Itās part of a raft of private aircraft ignoring the no-fly zone of the āsouthern White Houseā ā where the president often spends his weekends.
āSince the January 20, 2025 presidential inauguration, NORAD has responded to over 20 tracks of interest entering the Palm Beach, Florida temporary flight restrictions area,ā the statement read.
The two incursions this weekend happened while Trump was staying there.
