A total of 11 aircraft violated the restricted airspace over New Jersey during President Donald Trump’s July Fourth weekend visit, prompting a fighter jet to be scrambled, according to authorities.
The First Air Force — also known as Air Forces Northern, which is headquartered at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida — announced in a statement that 11 civilian aircraft breached the temporary flight restriction airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Trump was spending the holiday weekend.
‘No excuses! Stay sharp, stay legal, and stay out of restricted airspace.’
“This morning’s intercept, followed by two later [temporary flight restriction] violations, brings the total to 11 unauthorized incursions into restricted airspace this weekend,” the First Air Force stated on Sunday.
