A video posted on Twitter and shared by multiple media outlets reportedly shows a fighter jet over Marin County intercepting a plane violating temporary flight restrictions put in place during President Joe Biden’s Bay Area visit.
In the footage, a U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighter flies close to a Mooney M20J single-engine airplane, reported the Drive’s War Zone, a news site covering the defense world. The site said the fighter jet performed a maneuver known as a “headbutt” that can be used to get another aircraft’s attention.
