Story summary

On Saturday, a NORAD F-16 fighter jet intercepted an aircraft that violated restricted airspace over the vicinity of Camp David, Maryland, while President Trump was present at the presidential retreat. The permanent no-fly zone around Camp David has additional restrictions when the president is there. During the interception, NORAD deployed flares to alert the violating pilot and escorted them out safely. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS) advised pilots that if intercepted by a NORAD aircraft, they should immediately communicate on frequencies 121.5 or 243.0 and reverse course until receiving further instructions. President Trump had arrived at Camp David late Friday night and was scheduled to remain there through the weekend.
