The U.S. military scrambled fighter jets Saturday to intercept three civilian planes flying near President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). All three aircraft had violated temporary flight restrictions in the area, the command said.
Each civilian plane violated the same flight restriction zone, at approximately 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m. and 12:50 p.m. EST, respectively. NORAD said F-16 jets safely escorted each aircraft out of the restricted airspace, and used flares during two of those instances to either "draw attention from or communicate with the pilot."
NORAD urged aircrews to check Notice to Airmen, or NOTAMs, from the Federal Aviation Administration before flying, "especially in the Mar-a-Lago region." The FAA uses NOTAMs to inform pilots of temporary flight restrictions, which prohibit aircraft from entering certain airspaces for set periods of time. Restrictions are issued "for safety or security purposes," including for natural disasters, some major sporting events and emergency or national security situations, the FAA says.
