Three aircraft violate airspace over Trump’s Palm Beach estate NORAD intercepts

Well-known anchor from Newsmax Todd Starnes has announced that three aircraft breached the airspace near the residence of US President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, prompting a response from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

Starnes shared details of the incident on X, highlighting that in a swift reaction, NORAD deployed fighter jets to intercept the aircraft that had violated the restricted airspace, Caliber.Az reports.

“Multiple aircraft violated airspace over Palm Beach, Florida. Three civilian aircraft were escorted out of the area by F-16 fighter jets. The incidents occurred at 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m. and 12:50 p.m. During 2 of the intercepts the fighter jets had to deploy flares. All 3 aircraft were safely escorted from the area by NORAD jets,” Starnes wrote.

The breach occurred on February 28 evening as President Trump was traveling from Washington to his residence in Palm Beach. Although the nature of the aircraft and their intentions remain unclear, the swift mobilization of NORAD forces highlights the seriousness with which airspace violations near the president’s residence are handled.
