Temporary Flight Restrictions Violated Over Bedminster And East Rutherford
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced that its F-16s intercepted multiple aircraft that violated temporary flight restrictions over New Jersey. More than 10 general aviation aircraft entered restricted airspace, including three that NORAD said it had to intercept. NORAD aircraft dispensed flares to draw the pilots’ attention, which may have been visible to the public. All general aviation aircraft were safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft, as reported by Fox News.
