F-16 fighter jets intercepted several non-commercial planes flying in restricted airspace over Bedminster and East Rutherford, New Jersey. The jets used flares to signal the pilots and safely escorted the planes out of the area during a temporary flight restriction related to the 2026 World Cup final.
Key Facts
F-16 jets intercepted 3 out of 10 general aviation planes that entered restricted airspace over northern New Jersey.
