Joe Biden is evacuated to fire station after light aircraft veers into airspace over beach home

Joe Biden was evacuated to a fire station and two military jets were scrambled after a light aircraft veered into airspace over the president’s Delaware beach house.

The 79-year-old and his wife Jill were rushed from the home to the secure location in Rehoboth following the incident on Saturday afternoon.

Preliminary investigation revealed the small private plane entered the restricted airspace ‘by mistake’ and there was ‘no threat to the President or his family,’ a Secret Service spokesperson confirmed.

The security detail, which is set to interview the pilot, claims the captain was not utilizing proper radio channels and did not follow a perviously issued notice to airmen or published flight guidance.

Both the President and First Lady have since returned to the residence.

Biden was spotted in the back of of his car Saturday as his presidential motorcade raced down the street and away from the holiday home.

The assembly of vehicles was seen driving straight into the Rehoboth station at 12.45pm before security services swept the area clear of bystanders.

Biden left again at 1.29pm after staying in his car with his wife inside the compound the whole time.

Witness Susan Lillard told CBS she saw a small white plane flying over the area where the president’s house is.

She said two military jets were quickly scrambled and soared across the sky above her during the dramatic response.
