Fighter jets intercepted a civilian plane that was flying through restricted airspace Tuesday over Geneva, Ohio, where President Trump was attending a teen athletic event, military officials said.
ET on Tuesday, said NORAD, as the civilian plane violated a temporary flight restriction over the area.
Temporary flight restrictions are issued by the Federal Aviation Administration and shared with pilots through Notices to Airmen, or NOTAMs.
Two general aviation planes violated the temporary restrictions in place over Bedminster on Sunday, also triggering interceptions by NORAD jets, the military command said.
The FAA issues temporary flight restrictions for a variety of reasons, including around large events attended by high-profile political figures, like the World Cup final in New Jersey last month.
