Plane intercepted in no-flight zone near Trump golf course, Secret Service says

A small aircraft was intercepted after it flew into restricted airspace near President Trump’s New Jersey golf club.

On Saturday afternoon, an F-15 jet and an MH-65 helicopter redirected the RV-7 plane, which entered a no-flight zone above the course.

At first, the plane did not respond to communication. The F-15 dispensed signal flares to get the pilot’s attention, and they were eventually able to establish radio communications.

“The President was not in danger and the security of the complex was maintained throughout,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

Investigators are looking into the incident.

Trump arrived at the resort on Friday and plans to depart on Sunday.
