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 occurred 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.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
