A small aircraft inadvertently violated the airspace over US President George W Bush's motorcade yesterday (24 July).

The pilot - who violated a 30-mile no-fly zone as the president returned to Philadelphia International Airport - was escorted by two military helicopters and an F-16 jet to Camden Airport, New Jersey after air controllers failed to contact the pilot.

Police officers detained the man for questioning but he was later released.
