US military intercepted small aircraft in restricted airspace as Biden visited Delaware home
Fox News
The U.S. military intercepted a small aircraft that flew into restricted airspace over the weekend, grounding the pilot at a nearby airport in Pennsylvania as President Biden visited his home in Delaware.
A spokesperson for the Department of Defense told Fox News that the pilot was not in communication with air traffic controllers when entering the restricted airspace and thus did so without proper clearance. "The NORAD fighter dispensed signal flares during the intercept in an effort to gain the pilot's attention and direct them safely out of the restricted zone," the Defense Department spokesperson explained. "The violating aircraft was monitored by the NORAD aircraft until it landed at a nearby airfield."More Related News
