Our #NORAD Airshow team had an outstanding week connecting with the aviation community at the 52nd Annual SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida. Throughout the event, the team engaged with attendees at our information booth, spoke with media, and delivered presentations highlighting NORAD’s mission to defend North American airspace, 24/7/365. In conversations with pilots and aviation enthusiasts, the message was clear - respecting NORAD-enforced #FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) areas is essential to flight safety. The week wrapped with a live demonstration showcasing how NORAD fighters respond to airspace violations, reinforcing the importance of staying informed when operating near TFR areas. The message was clear➡️Enjoy the Expo. Read your NOTAMs. #FlyInformed #WeHavetheWatch @SunnFunFlyIn
