Army Helicopters Buzz Kid Rock's Pool, No Harm, No Foul

0:00On April 1st, two Army Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbell buzzed right by Kid Rock Swimming Pool. In Nashville on March 28th, the rapper and entertainer clapped and saluted as they hovered during what started as a routine training flight. At first, the Army suspended the crews pending an investigation into safety rules and FAA compliance, but defense secretary Pete Hague Seth quickly, cleared them. Here this week, an Army Spokesperson confirmed the flight drew media heat, prompting a review of mission protocols and approvals. Hague Seth shut it all down on social media hours later, saying no punishment and no probe needed, just carry on for the Patriots. Kid Rock, a vocal military backer who's performed for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, called it no big deal. He says helicopters from nearby Fort Campbell often fly over his White House-style home overlooking Nashville, and he's always waved them in. Even spent last Thanksgiving there with Vice President JD Vance.

1:02Trump weighed in from the Oval Office, joking maybe they were defending Kid Rock, though he likes the guy. The crews also passed over a downtown protest against Trump, but official stress it was unrelated to the rally. In the end, Kid Rock saw it as a morale boost for the pilots protecting the country and with Hague Seth's green light, the crews are back in the sky.
