The fighter intercepted another aircraft flying near President Donald Trump's Mar Arago Real Estate in Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday after a “excessive” violation of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) temporary flight restrictions.
Sunday's incident was the second time one weekend, with Norado having to intercept an empty aircraft above Trump's Florida home.

“During the intercept, Norad aircraft omitted the flare, which could be seen by the public,” the official continued, adding that “Flares respect the highest level of safety, burn out quickly and completely, and do not pose a danger to people on earth.”
NORAD's F-16 fighter jets safely escorted the aircraft from the area, the agency said.
“Compliance with TFR procedures is essential to ensuring flight safety, national security and presidential security,” Commander Gregory Guillott said.
General Gillot warned the pilot that these policies were “not an option” and advised aviators to read the Notice (NOTAM) notifying pilots of potential dangers or changes to the National Spatial System (NAS).

“The procedure is not an option. The recent excess number of TFR violations indicates that many civilians have not read notifications to airmen or notams prior to each flight in response to FAA requests, resulting in multiple answers to guide confused aircraft from TFR by NORAD fighter aircraft.
“If an aircraft pilot happens to be intercepted by either a fighter or a helicopter, they will soon appear at a frequency of 121.5 or 243.0 and they must reverse the course until they receive additional instructions on either of those frequencies,” the general added.
The Nord, who is tasked with monitoring and defending North American airspace, has revealed that since President Trump took office just seven weeks ago, he has intercepted more than 20 flight violations via Marlago.
“Since taking office on January 20, 2025, Norado has responded to more than 20 interested tracks entering Palm Beach in the Florida TFR area,” the agency said.
President Trump's visit to Marlago causes temporary flight restrictions that apply to all aircraft, including commercial jet liners. Report by Palm Beach Daily Newswhen the violation occurred, the president realized he was in his Marlago real estate.
