By: Barrett Tryon
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Two F-16 fighters, under the direction of North American Aerospace Defense Command, intercepted an ultralight aircraft near the Southwest Arizona border Sunday around 7 a.m. Colorado time.
The aircraft was flying from Mexico and crossed into Arizona.
Under the direction of NORAD, fighters were launched to intercept the aircraft.
Once NORAD found the aircraft, the F-16s shadowed the aircraft for 30 minutes, until it turned and flew back into Mexico.
The F-16s returned to base.
