This went on last weekend as well
Is this something new because this was reported several days ago?
Hopefully they get a non-dischargeable bill for the cost to scramble the fighters. That would put an end to this real fast. Those that can afford to pay it would then need to be investigated because they did it on purpose.
This does not make a lot of sense.
sure someone flying a Cessna or something could cause a little damage, but I doubt it would be major even if you were loaded up with some kind of accelerant
but I can think of many more logical vectors.
does anyone remember the dude who flew over
Area-51 live on art bell ?

I’m glad the President is being kept safe.
This used to happen to W Bush when he was at his ranch near Waco Texas all the time. We would hear the jets rushing to escort someone down who had strayed into the airspace above his ranch.
I suppose the plan is to make it a common thing so the jets will cease interception.
It happens every time Trump is at MaraLago. Pilots flying from private and uncontrolled airfields aren’t checking for restricted areas.
I got all my pilot training in Florida in the 70’s. Roughly, 80% of all the air traffic in Florida happens to be student pilots just drilling holes in the air to build time. Many have very few clues. Thus is a non-story.
Probably scared the hell out of some supercub pilots.

What the hell is are “general aviation planes”?
Wanna stop this crap? Shoot them down. Televise pilot footage of the rocket blowing up the Cessna. This will get peoples’ attention.
Ground, fine, and investigate those idiot pilots into obscurity. Every pilot knows the TFR’s for their airspace. If they don’t they got zero reason operating an aircraft.
Escort the next one out over the water then make it splash. That should stop the incursions.
Splash a couple it will slow it down
This is happening too often. Maybe they’re testing how quickly the fighter jets show up..
Easy solution. Shoot one down out of the sky. The others will quickly stop.
there’s a few general aviation airports and airport communities in the area that were there before trump created maralargo...
Crowded airspace...Mar A Lago directly under the Palm Beach Intl. airport approach/departure and a 30 mile TFR radius is a PITA for GA in the area:
