NORAD INTERCEPTS AIRCRAFT VIOLATING AIRSPACE OVER NEW YORK

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) F-16 fighter aircraft intercepted a general aviation aircraft that violated Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) airspace near Keansburg, New Jersey, on June 8, 2026, at approximately 9: 30 p.m. EDT.

The civilian aircraft was safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft after drawing the pilot’s attention.

Should NORAD aircraft intercept a general aviation aircraft, the pilot should immediately come up on frequency 121.5 or 243.0 and turn around to reverse course until receiving additional instructions on one of those frequencies.

The Continental U.S. NORAD Region, at Tyndall AFB, is the operational lead for this NORAD mission.
