NORAD Jets Intercept 2 Planes Over Restricted Airspace Near Trump's Golf Club

NORAD said F-16 fighters intercepted two general aviation aircraft that entered restricted airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, on Aug. 9. The command linked the enforcement to temporary flight restriction areas issued by the FAA for President Donald Trump’s movements during the weekend. Trump arrived at his golf club in Bedminster on Aug. 7 and departed for Washington on Aug. 9, according to his public schedule, with the LIV Golf New York tournament running from Aug. 6 to Aug. 9 at the site. NORAD reported multiple intercepts, while First Air Force said the number was two. Both aircraft were escorted out safely. NORAD also said U.S. Army ground-based air defense equipment could be visible in the region under a layered defense network tied to Operation Noble Eagle.
