Army suspends aircrew flying helicopters near Kid Rock's home
The Army said the crews are under review for compliance with flight rules after the helicopters hovered near Kid Rock’s pool and over protests.
- On Tuesday, March 31, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lifted the suspension and investigation of two Army AH-64 Apache aircrews hours after they were grounded for an unauthorized flyby near musician Kid Rock's Nashville-area home.
- The U.S. Army initially grounded the aircrews Tuesday, March 31, following social media videos from Saturday, March 28, showing the helicopters hovering near Rock's estate while he saluted and clapped.
- Officials stated the helicopters were on a training mission and their presence near 'No Kings' protests was 'entirely coincidental,' while Rock welcomed the flyby as 'really cool' and 'harmless.'
- Reversing course hours later, Hegseth reposted Rock's statement while President Donald Trump joked during an Oval Office press event that the pilots 'probably shouldn't have been doing it.'
- Democratic lawmakers warned the Trump administration is increasingly using military assets for political gain, a concern underscored by Hegseth's ongoing efforts to reshape the armed forces since his swearing-in last year.
