Around the time that President Donald Trump was arriving at the airport in Nashville, Tennessee A F-16 fighter jet intercepted a small aircraft entering the temporary flight restricted area near Nashville.

 

According to reports from NORAD A F-16 fighter jet intercepted a small aircraft flying over Spring Hill, Tennessee around 2:00p.m. that had entered a temporary flight restricted area surrounding Nashville without proper clearance.

The NORAD command immediately directed the F-16 jet to investigate the aircraft that was not in communication with air traffic control, and at first the violating aircraft was nonresponsive to the initial intercept by the fighter jet.

After the fighter jet deployed signal flares radio communications was then established where the aircraft then left the area without further incident.

At this time it is still unclear as to why the small aircraft was flying over Spring Hill as well as doing so during the same time that it was reported that President Donald Trump was landing at the Nashville, Tennessee International Airport.
