Two F-15s caused a 'sonic boom' as they raced from their base in Homestead, Fla., Friday to intercept an unresponsive general aviation aircraft that flew near Palm Beach during a stay by President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

The jets flew at supersonic speeds and residents were startled by the loud boom, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD, said in a statement. The two fighters were able to establish communication with the aircraft. This incident occured at about 7 p.m. ET. No further details were immediately available.

"The intent of military intercepts is to have the identified aircraft re-establish communications with local FAA air traffic controllers and instruct the pilot to follow air traffic controllers' instructions to land safely for follow-on action," the statement read.

Earlier this month, a private plane got within 2 nautical miles of Air Force One, which is closer than permitted, while flying over Florida and the incident is being investigated by authorities, Bloomberg reported.

The planes were flying on a parallel route and there was no risk of a collision during the incident, which occurred 30 miles out on Feb. 3, sources told the news agency. President Trump arrived safely at Palm Beach International Airport.

The report said that when Air Force One is in flight, Secret Service agents work with FAA supervisors and monitor for threats.

It's probably pissed off local people because everytime Trump shows up the secrect service closes down a small local air port.

Trumps weekend trips are putting several small businesses out of business because weekends are their busy times.

The airport it's self has already lost a 440k rental agreement with a helicopter school because they can't run their operations when Trump shows up and they get no advance warning of when he's coming.

Basically every business running out of that airport is forced to close because of Trump's visits and they get no advance warning.

There was a pretty good article about it I saw posted somewhere. To put it lightly, the locals do not like Trump.

Which seems to be the case everytime he builds something..

Just a matter of time... drip drip drip. I hope his "brand" becomes more toxic than it was before having the will of the people overturned by the corrupt elites in the Electoral College.

Trump is spending his third weekend vacationing Maralardo and is too afraid to face foreign leaders for all the shit he's stirred, especially Russia, so he sent Pence to fill in where the president usually attends at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Russia's Lavrov said to leaders of Europe that "The West's dominance of world affairs is ending." and said Russia will be seen as equal to America or else!

Meanwhile we're all taking about a plane flying near Trump while he vacations for the third weekend in a row

Pence: US will hold Russia accountable - Russia says U.S. has lost power
