[Alaskan NORAD Region and Alaskan Command @ANRALCOM]

From the remote Aleutian Islands to the northern approaches of Alaska, NORAD synchronized a formidable binational force during an Oct. 25 homeland defense mission.

For the first time in decades, F-16s sat alert and launched from austere Eareckson Air Station…

Planning to fly near West Palm Beach, Florida this weekend?

NORAD fighter aircraft will be enforcing the FAA-established VIP temporary flight restriction in the area, this Friday through Sunday.

Pilots, check NOTAMs before every flight and follow all TFR procedures.

Fly safe, fly informed. #WeHaveTheWatch

This #WingWednesday, we are highlighting the 114th Fighter Wing of the South Dakota Air National Guard, a highly trained and highly ready fighter wing operating F 16C/D Fighting Falcons from Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls. The wing routinely generates and deploys combat ready aircraft and Airmen who support aerospace control missions across North America.

The 114th Fighter Wing plays a key role supporting the NORAD mission through aerospace control, air sovereignty operations, and homeland defense exercises. Whether supporting Operation NOBLE EAGLE, participating in Arctic air defense exercises such as Amalgam Dart, or responding to scenarios such as unauthorized aircraft entering restricted airspace during Exercise Felix Keynote, the wing helps ensure NORAD remains ready to respond at a moment's notice.

Earlier today, Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) fighter aircraft intercepted a general aviation aircraft that entered an active @FAANews Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) area over Palm Beach, Fla.

Pilots, always read your NOTAMs prior to take-off to avoid similar outcomes.

Fly safe, fly informed. #WeHaveTheWatch

Heads up, South Florida Pilots!

A @NORADCommand fighter aircraft intercepted an aircraft violating restricted airspace over Palm Beach, FL.

Plan your flight, Check your NOTAMS! Avoid the intercept by making airspace awareness part of EVERY preflight!

The RCAF received its first two CF35As yesterday at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The future of air and space power is built on more than equipment alone.

[North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand]

Pilots, stay sharp. Preparation starts with checking your NOTAMs before every flight. NORAD will enforce temporary flight restriction airspace over multiple areas this week.

[1st AF/America's AOC @1stAF]

Heads up, Pilots!

@NORADCommand will be enforcing multiple TFRs throughout the country this week, including the restricted airspace over Palm Beach this weekend.

CHECK YOUR NOTAMS: Don't be the next intercept!

The Snowbirds have completed their final air show with the iconic CT-114 Tutor, closing an incredible chapter in Canadian aviation history. ✈️

NORAD shares a special connection with Snowbird 1, Major Maciej “Match” Hatta, and Snowbird 2, Major Steve “Stewie” Timm, both former CF-188 Hornet pilots flew NORAD missions before joining the team.

From defending our skies to inspiring from above, congratulations to the entire Snowbirds team on a historic final show.

Blue skies, Snowbirds!

[Royal Canadian Air Force @RCAF_ARC]

This Friday, join us in saying farewell to the CT-114 Tutors.

Watch the last airshow on Friday, October 16, 2026 live on our Facebook page.

The live stream will begin at 2 p.m. (EDT).

[North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand]

Lieutenant-General Iain Huddleston, Deputy Commander of NORAD, hosted Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn to advance alignment between military and law‑enforcement partners in Security Cooperation and Assistance‑to‑Law‑Enforcement situations.

The discussion focused on command‑and‑control modernization, emergency airlift coordination, Arctic operations and readiness, joint training, and UAS/counter‑UAS integration, all essential to NORAD’s mission to deter, detect, and defeat aerospace threats to the continent.

NORAD and the RCMP routinely work together during major domestic security operations to ensure coordinated airspace security, including past support to the 2025 G7 Summit in Kananaskis and the 2026 World Cup matches hosted in Canada. Strengthening this partnership enhances the binational response framework that keeps North America safe.

Don’t be the next intercept. Make sure you have the most current information by checking your NOTAMs before each and every flight. Staying informed keeps you clear of restricted airspace and prevents an avoidable intercept.

NORAD aircraft are conducting a planned live-fly air exercise in support of Operation #NobleEagle over Palm Beach, Florida, today.

NORAD F-16s and Civil Air Patrol (CAP) aircraft will participate in the exercise. The CAP aircraft will operate as low as 1,000 feet, and will likely be visible to the public.

Happy 251st Birthday to the @USNavy ! 🇺🇸⚓

As part of our binational maritime warning mission, NORAD works closely with U.S. and Canadian naval forces to share critical information and promote a comprehensive understanding of the maritime domain.

Together with our partners, We Have the Watch.

Pilots know that good decisions start long before takeoff.

Before every flight:
✅ Check the weather
✅ Review your route
✅ Read your NOTAMs

Reading your NOTAMs is the single most important step in avoiding a NORAD intercept. The safest intercept is the one that never has to happen. Stay informed, stay clear, and fly smart.

[North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand]

This #WingWednesday, we are highlighting 4 Wing Cold Lake, Canada’s largest and busiest fighter wing. For more than seven decades, 4 Wing has generated and sustained combat‑ready fighter aircraft, personnel, and training that enable the Royal Canadian Air Force to protect and defend Canada’s interests at home and abroad.

4 Wing contributes to the joint safety and security of North American airspace through continuous participation in the NORAD mission, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Its CF‑18 crews and support personnel uphold the vigilance, responsiveness, and professionalism required for aerospace warning and aerospace control in defense of the continent.
#WeHaveTheWatch @RCAF_ARC

[North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand]

Airshows are fun. Real-world NORAD intercepts are not.

Pilots: before you fly, review your NOTAMs, confirm TFR areas, and adhere to all restricted airspace regulations.

Fly informed. Fly smart. Keep NORAD fighter jets off your flank.

[North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand]

✈️ NORAD is enforcing active TFRs in multiple locations this week. A few minutes spent reading NOTAMs prior to take off can prevent a serious situation in the air.

Know the restrictions. Review your NOTAMs. Fly safely.

[1st AF/America's AOC @1stAF]

Pilots! @NORADCommand fighter aircraft will be enforcing multiple TFRs this week around the country.

Don't be the next intercept! Have the most up-to-date information for flights in your area by checking NOTAMs each and EVERY time before you fly!
