F-16 Jets Intercept Small Plane as Obama Leaves LA The plane was forced to land at El Monte Airport on Friday morning as Air Force One was leaving LAX
The North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled the two jets that intercepted the Piper 28 aircraft over northeast Los Angeles at approximately 9:45 a.m. PDT, and followed it until it landed about five minutes later and was met by local law enforcement, NORAD said in a statement.
The Piper landed at the small airport in El Monte about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, local police Lt. Dan Burlingham said.
The pilot, who was flying alone, was detained by police until Secret Service Agents arrived, he said.

Obama's Airspace In LA Violated As He Leaves 'Looney Clooney' Party.
Well, it is HIS airspace you know.
Barry has violated my airspace for quite a number of years now, put this bastard to butt-sex disease-ridden paradise and get him away from me.
Yeah, I guess we need a 24/7 complete air corridor shut down because of Barry’s round the clock air operations.
I say FART in his airspace...
So the guy flying the Piper 28 was beaten to a pulp, raped by the homo SS agents and is now eating his meals through a straw! He won’t do THAT again! All is well.
News alert! Someone breathed in Barry’s precious air space. Special forces deployed.
I prefer to think of it as Obama violating the Piper’s airspace.
When Obama flies to LA to collect his millions from sleazy friends, what does it cost taxpayers?
A Piper 28 can do about 140 mph airspeed at best. Hardly a threat except right at take off and landing.
How big is the restricted airspace around air force one?
A quick Google for bulletins and advisories on restricted airspace around air force one comes up empty.
c.w.
Food for thought.
What we really need here is a gaggle of geese who are willing to give their lives for this country. It seems that birds are hitting planes everywhere lately.
The whole Fng Country, don't you know. This prick flies so much that America is all his airspace. Pilots get dizzy trying to figure out where this dictator is.
I feel sorry for these pilots who get caught up in one of these roving restricted airspace deals. I don't think most people remember to check the NOTAMs every time they fly.
Even if the SS cuts the guy loose quickly, he is still going to have to deal with some tool from the FAA trying to take his license.
It’s a moving, 10 mile no-fly zone.
Don’t know anything about u as u do not have an about page
As a current licensed pilot you get T.F.R.’s regularly when obozo or Joe the drunk are going to be near by.
Same for when the Cape is going to shoot off something or maybe an airshow.
It is normally a 30 mile radius which 60 miles across. It sucks every time he comes to LA where I am. Here is a link for pilots to keep updated for TFR’s.

When it vacations in Hawaii for 2 weeks it shuts down all the sight seeing helicopters. Poor guys get screwed.
