They dispensed flares to gain the attention of the pilot of the civilian aircraft, and the NORAD aircraft escorted them out of the restricted flight zone."During this event, the fighter aircraft dispensed flares — that may have been visible to the public — to gain attention from the pilot.
Additional details about the incident were not made available immediately, though NORAD said in its release that it uses “a layered defense network of radars, satellites and fighter aircraft to identify aircraft and determine the appropriate response.”The Bidens have been at Lake Tahoe for the last week on vacation, though they did travel to Maui, Hawaii, to view the devastation from historic wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes and killed more than 110 people.
