Two F-15 fighter jets intercepted two small planes that strayed into President Barack Obama's airspace during a campaign visit to Connecticut on Monday and the planes landed without incident, NBC's affiliate in Connecticut reported.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command said the fighter jets intercepted a small plane over Long Island, New York, at 7 p.m. ET and followed it until it landed, and that the pilot was met by law enforcement authorities. (Link to statement on Facebook)

Roughly half an hour later, the jets intercepted a second small plane in Connecticut near New Haven, but it was allowed to continue to its destination, NORAD said.

NBC Connecticut reported that the planes had entered airspace temporarily restricted during Obama's visit to the state.
