F-16s Intercept Civilian Aircraft near Mar-a-Lago
 [Epoch Times] Air Force fighter jets on March 9 intercepted a civilian aircraft that flew in restricted airspace near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said in a statement.The incident took place as Trump finished a round of golf at his West Palm Beach golf course. It was also the second time in 48 hours that F-16 fighter jets from the Continental U.S. NORAD region responded to such an aviation violation over Palm Beach, Florida, the aerospace command stated. On March 1, NORAD F-16 fighter jets intercepted three civilian aircraft violating airspace restrictions over Palm Beach at different intervals. The fighter jets fired flares at two of the aircraft, and all three were escorted out of the restricted airspace. NORAD stated that it has responded to "over 20 tracks of interests" entering the restricted zone in Palm Beach since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
