TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) aircraft intercepted a second general aviation aircraft that violated Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey. This morning’s intercept, followed by two later TFR violations, brings the total to 11 unauthorized incursions into restricted airspace this weekend.
The civilian aircraft violated the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) at approximately 10:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The aircraft was safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft.
“NORAD and the FAA aim to keep the skies over America safe, with close attention paid to areas with Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the President,” said Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, NORAD and US Northern Command. “TFR procedures are mandatory, and the excessive number of TFR violations this weekend indicates some civil aviators are not reading Notice to Airmen, or NOTAMs, before each flight as required by the FAA. NORAD armed fighter aircraft will intercept and guide offending aircraft out of the TFR. Should the pilot of an aircraft happen to find itself intercepted by either fighters or helicopters, they should immediately come up on frequency 121.5 or 243.0 and turn around to reverse course until receiving additional instructions on one of those frequencies.”
General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Fly Informed before every flight; in the instance of the Bedminster, New Jersey region, specifically FAA NOTAMs 1353, 1358, 2246 and 2247.
Pilots can access the most up-to-date information published by the FAA at https://tfr.faa.gov/.
NORAD employs a layered defense network of radars, satellites, and fighter aircraft to identify and respond to potential threats. The identification and monitoring of the civilian aircraft demonstrate how NORAD executes its aerospace warning and control missions for the United States and Canada.

Ooops.
Active pilots ALL receive TFR’s temporary flight restrictions for wherever the pres is
Gonna lose lisense
Its time to start putting people in jail for for this jackassery.
Make ‘em an example and make it very public....it’ll stop.
FATHER GOD,
Those who live in the shelter of the MOST HIGH will find rest in the shadow of the ALMIGHTY. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.We declare Your mighty Promises that prove true. Thank You we can find rest and shelter under the shadow of Your wings. May Your shield cover and shield believers throughout the world from jihad and dangers of which we are unaware.For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the MOST HIGH your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My name. When they call on Me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them My salvation.” (Psalm 91)
Rescue Your people in Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.
I have to admit … if I was piloting that little plane … that would be pretty intimidating.
AMEN! 🙏🏻
Who was flying the civilian airplane?
I unintentionally violated a TFR on the cape during the VP bidEn days. So I know a bit how it can happen. He wasn’t even at the airport where I was, probably 50 miles away.
And then a district judge will reinstate it. /S
From the movie Tora Tora Tora. This really happened.
The civilian female pilot was Cornelia Clark Fort.
It's right there on the tail of the private plane, hehehe.
“If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the MOST HIGH your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!”
I guess those innocent little children that were violently torn apart in treacherous water AT CHURCH CAMP didn’t pray hard enough!??
Where was your deity for them???
The virtue signaling around FR is every bit as bad as the LEFTISTS.
Do something. People need help. Praying isn’t going to cut it.
Maybe he/she/it WAS an Obama/Biden judge..
If the picture is from the event, that’s a civil air patrol plane. Thats embarrassing.
It is difficult to understand why tragedies happen, and little ones die before their time.
But it is GOD Who is good all the time. It is Satan who comes to seek, kill, and destroy.
Put the blame on the destroyer.
Amen.
They obviously were not over Macho Grande. Never over Macho Grande.
> you wouldn’t expect the TFR to be violated by the “CIVIL AIR PATROL” <
Good catch. It’s on the tail of the plane. I didn’t notice that.
Wait a minute. Maybe we’ve got it backwards. Maybe the CAP aircraft was escorting a rogue jet out of the restricted area.
😀
I was passing by the Brunswick NAS in the ‘70s in my little 4 place AA5 and a P-3 Orion passed by me. I could see the rivet heads.
