FAA briefly closes airspace over Lake Michigan

When

On Feb. 12, 2023, the FAA closed airspace over part of Lake Michigan for about two hours 'in support of' Defense Department activities, and NORAD said it imposed the restriction for air-traffic safety. It came a day after a Montana closure and hours before an object was downed over Lake Huron.
