Three Airspace Breaches Over Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Prompt F-16 Jet Scramble

Unauthorized civilian aircraft entered restricted airspace over Trump's Florida resort three times in two hours, raising serious security concerns.

NORAD dispatched F-16 fighter jets after three civilian aircraft violated airspace over Mar-a-Lago within a two-hour span on March 2, 2025.
The breaches occurred at 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m., and 12:50 p.m., with the jets deploying flares and escorting the planes out of the restricted zone.
The reasons for the airspace violations remain unclear, and authorities are investigating whether the entries were accidental or intentional.
This incident follows multiple similar breaches in February, escalating concerns about the security of the restricted airspace around the former president's residence.
In a separate development, Trump announced that the Justice Department returned classified documents previously seized from Mar-a-Lago, which he plans to display in his presidential library.
