U.S. Air Force fighter jets intercepted an aircraft that flew over President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in violation of a temporary flight restriction on Sunday, NORAD said.

The big picture: It was the second time in 48 hours F-16s from the Continental U.S. NORAD region had responded to such aircraft violations over Palm Beach, Fla., per a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
  • "NORAD has responded to over 20 tracks of interest entering the Palm Beach, Florida TFR area" since Trump's presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, according to the statement.
Zoom in: The jets fired flares that may have been visible to members of the public during the intercept "to draw attention from or communicate with the pilot" of the civilian aircraft, NORAD said.
