The North American Aerospace Defense Command intercepted two general aviation aircraft Sunday that violated temporary flight restrictions over Bedminster, N.J., according to a service news release.
The general aviation aircraft were safely escorted out of the area by NORAD’s F-16 fighter aircraft, the command said.
“Pilots: check your Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS) and FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions,” NORAD said in a social media post.
The violations occurred as President Donald Trump was spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster. Trump arrived Friday and was expected to remain there through Sunday, New York Post reported.
NORAD is a U.S.-Canada organization responsible for monitoring and protecting North American airspace and waters, according to their website.
