F-16s are scrambled and deploy FLARES as three planes caught circling near Trump's Palm Beach mansion
UK Daily Mail ^ | 03/01/2025 | JAMES CIRRONE

It is being reported that multiple aircraft violated the airspace above Palm Beach, Florida, where President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is located.

The news was first reported by Todd Starnes, a host on the conservative outlet Newsmax.

Three civilian aircraft were escorted out of the area by F-16 fighter jets that had to be scrambled by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

During two of the intercepts, the fighter jets had to deploy flares. All three civilian fliers were safely nudged out of Palm Beach airspace.

DailyMail.com approached NORAD for comment on the situation.

Based on the Starnes' accounting, the incidents occurred at 11:05am, 12:10pm and 12:50pm.

It's not clear under what circumstances these planes flew into Palm Beach airspace, but these kinds of scenarios have been happening quite frequently over the last week or so.

The Palm Beach Post reported on February 20 that there were three airspace violations over the coastal city during Trump's six-day visit to Mar-a-Lago that month.

Two of the violations occurred on February 15 and one happened on Presidents Day, February 17.

It’s going to happen. Eventually. Something related to Trump is going to take damage. Maybe even a family member. I wonder how passive the country will remain when it happens.

Recently read that five Suburbans filled with secret service agents are assigned to move Barron around campus. The threat is real. Liberals are lunatics.

Good question. And did anyone arrest them, talk to them, investigate them?

I seem to remember reading a while ago that Mar-a-Lago is either within or near the flight path of the airport.

Is Palm Beach International's airspace closed, or rerouted when Trump is at home?

Speaking from experience, it is.

However, I believe air traffic uses a different approach pattern when POTUS is in town.

Every patriot’s situational awareness should be sky-high and stay that way forever. I am starting to feel very every time I have to go out into the public. Stay aware!

RE: I wonder how passive the country will remain when it happens.

Passivity for me left town a long time ago.

I just watched the Stephen King movie Thinner (1996) for the first time. Joe Mantegna’s answer about setting up justified and limited revenge for relief and for justice against the evil gypsies—

Billy Halleck: “You’re liking this, aren’t you.”

Mantegna as Richie Ginelli: “No, I’m loving it.”
