Drone activity caused officials to close airspace over one of the United States’ most critical Air Force bases for almost four hours late Friday and early Saturday, according to a base spokesperson and a Notice to Airmen posted on a federal website.
The airspace at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio was restricted for approximately four hours as authorities monitored the situation. The drones, referred to as “small unmanned aerial systems,” were being monitored by base units. Installation leadership confirmed that none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities, or assets.
