Fighters sent after violation of Air Force 1 space

None

The North American Aerospace Defense Command says military fighter jets were scambled to respond to an airspace violation near Air Force One in Seattle.

 

Spokesman John Cornelio says the jets were sent from Portland, Oregon, as President Obama was visiting Seattle after a report that an aircraft violated the restricted airspace. He says the aircraft left the restricted area before the Air National Guard jets arrived, and there was no intercept. (AP)
