A NORAD fighter jet intercepted a plane violating restricted airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump is spending the weekend.
A general aviation aircraft committed what ended up being five different violations over the protected airspace on Saturday.
The NORAD aircraft conducted what’s known as a ‘headbutt maneuver’ to gain the civilian pilot’s attention.
The aircraft was safely escorted out of the area. No injuries have been reported.
NORAD has reported multiple similar incidents in recent weeks, and is urging general aviation pilots to check all notifications before taking off in the area.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House for comment.
After spending the night at the D.C. Fourth of July festivities, the president and first lady were headed to their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort to spend the remainder of the holiday weekend.
Trump pumped his fist as he boarded Air Force One with Melania at his side.

On Friday, Trump hosted military families in the South Lawn for the occasion, marking the holiday with a picnic.
Earlier in the night he delivered a speech from the balcony before signing his ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ into law – as Congress made good on a promise to have the mega piece of legislation passed before the Trump-imposed Fourth of July deadline.
There were also a trio of military flyovers, including with B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in the recent military action over Iran.
The Trumps had slipped into the West Wing but returned to watch the annual fireworks display over the National Mall.
Members of the audience shouted out ‘four more years’ and ‘eight more years.’
Trump has another three and a half years of his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again – despite some backing from Republicans to have the Constitution amended just for the president, under his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms.
The president’s walk-on song, Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA, was played several times during the evening affair.
As the fireworks ended, YMCA was played – Trump’s traditional walk-off tune.
He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly do the moves too – though neither Trump engaged in the YMCA dance of spelling out the letters.
The crowd was interspersed with Cabinet members and top Trump officials including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan ‘Razin’ Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin and more.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ head of Trump’s signing.
