NORAD intercepts two unauthorized aircraft as Trump watches LIV golf tourney in New Jersey
NORAD declined to say whether the pilots of the two aircraft had made a mistake, saying that it is up to the Federal Aviation Administration to make that determination, Reuters reported.
On Sunday, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) F-16s intercepted two general aviation aircraft that violated temporary flight restrictions over Bedminster, New Jersey, where former President Donald Trump was attending a LIV Golf tournament. NORAD stated, "All aircraft were safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft." The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will determine if the pilots made a mistake, as pilots are required to check for temporary airspace restrictions. This incident follows a separate FAA review of a safety incident last Tuesday involving Marine One, carrying then-President Trump, where air-traffic controllers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport reportedly failed to halt commercial flights as required during its departure from the White House.
