Two planes were intercepted in New Jersey for entering a no-fly zone without the proper clearance while President Trump vacationed at his golf resort Friday, local reports said.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), in charge of airspace surveillance for the continental U.S. and Canada, deployed F-16 fighter jets in two separate instances at 7:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m.
Two single-engine civilian aircraft stopped communicating with air traffic control and entered a temporary flight restriction zone near the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., where the president is spending the weekend, News 12 New Jersey reported.
In both cases, the pilots reestablished communication with air traffic control and left the restricted airspace without incident, NORAD said.

Some amateur pilots are not that good at controlling their planes. Consider JFK, Jr.
How much did it cost the taxpayers for these jets to scramble to protect the Trumpkopf at his golf course.
Actually, probably just a drop in the bucket compared to the multi-million dollar cost of flying Air Force One approximately 200 miles from D.C. to N. J for a weekend of golf and a tiny fraction of the cost of flying Air Force One to Palm Beach (as he has done 28 times since taking office) for more golf weekends and vacations at Mar Lago . So don’t complain.
Perhaps staying home and playing golf at the two military golf courses near D.C. (Andrews AFB and Ft Belvoir) as Obama and his predecessors did or at his own golf course in Northern Virginia might be more cost effective, when you’ve increased the national debt by TRILLIONS of DOLLARS, who cares.
Gadolhadorah, it is obvious you wish harm to be done to Pres. Trump. This is felony and YWN has duty to report your contact info to Secret Service for the investigation.
To MIG: If you are trying to be funny in your second post, you are really not good at it.
As for the cost of the Trump presidency: Protecting him is the cheapest part. The real cost is what he is doing to America and the rest of the world.
