NORAD Says None Were UAVs

Four aircraft reportedly violated the TFR put in place over Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA during the Super Bowl Sunday, all of them private manned aircraft.

Television station KNBC reports that the FAA reported the four TFR violations, but deferred reporters to NORAD for details.

Major Andrews identified the four aircraft as a Cessna 150, a Cessna 172, a Vans RV 6, and a Beechcraft BE35.

All pilots received a verbal warning and were escorted or diverted to Palo Alto or Livermore Municipal Airports, which NORAD reports were the intended destinations of those aircraft.
