NORAD and Airspace Security

NORAD says F-16s intercepted a civilian aircraft that entered temporarily restricted airspace over Palm Beach, Florida, around 4:20 p.m. EST on Nov. 30, deploying flares to gain the pilot’s attention before escorting the plane out. The incident occurred while President Trump was at Mar-a-Lago for the holiday weekend; officials urged pilots to check NOTAMs and noted more than 40 airspace-violation ‘tracks of interest’ in the West Palm Beach area since Trump took office.
