F-16 Fighter Jets Intercept Plane In Trump's No-Fly Zone

NORAD fighter jets intercepted a plane entering restricted airspace around President Donald Trump in Ohio on Tuesday.

F-16 fighter jets intercepted two general aviation planes entering a temporary no-fly zone over President Donald Trump's golf courses in Geneva, Ohio and Bedminster, New Jersey on Tuesday. The jets set off flares to catch the pilot's attention and then escorted the aircraft out of the restricted airspace. NORAD, a joint American-Canadian defense command, frequently carries out such interceptions when temporary airspace restrictions are in place around the president.

The incidents occurred as Trump was attending the Patriot Games, a three-day sporting event for teenagers marking the U.S.'s 250th anniversary.
