F-16 Fighter Jet Swarms Private Trump Golf Course After Major Security Threat

By Benjamin Arie

July 22, 2018 at 1:21pm

Security officials in charge of protecting the president got a bit of a scare on Saturday when an Air Force F-16 fighter jet was forced to intercept a suspicious airplane.

According to the Associated Press, the F-16 was scrambled after a general aviation aircraft was flying unreasonably close to a Trump-owned golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.

That’s where President Donald Trump is staying for the weekend, prompting heightened security that includes aviation restrictions for local pilots.

The interception occurred around noon on the 21st, after the small plane apparently ignored a restricted zone and was not responding to radio calls. Officials said the aircraft was flying “without proper clearances or communications.”

“Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command says the intercepted aircraft landed at an airport in Pittstown, N.J. without incident, where local law enforcement met the pilot,” the AP elaborated.

The identity of the pilot and the reason that he broke the secure area has not been reported, but it seems the Secret Service is satisfied that there is no ongoing threat to the president.

When a VIP such as the president travels, the FAA often issues a Temporary Flight Restriction, or TFR. This information is included in daily NOTAMs, or Notices to Airmen.

As a matter of routine, pilots are expected to review those NOTAMs before a flight and make sure that they respect the TFRs in their region, which can include geographic areas and altitudes that are off limits.

Those advisories can also be viewed on a map, making it relatively easy for a pilot to check for restrictions before he takes off, or even from the air.
