US Customs and Border Patrol will have eight aircraft performing security operations in the area.
Black Hawk and Airbus AS350 helicopters, as well as Cessna C-550 Citation jets to protect Houston’s NRG Stadium.
Workers in California will monitor air-traffic radar in the area and alert the choppers as well as the division’s jets if anything enters the 30-mile temporary flight restriction around the stadium, the Houston Chronicle reports.
No drone pilots should be flying near the stadium. The FAA, which sets aircraft rules, has barred drones temporarily for a 34.5-mile radius around the venue.
