It's April 1st, Vancouver news today starts now, AI powered and ready. Army pilots who flew two Apache helicopters, low over Kid Rock's Tennessee home, got their flying suspension lifted this week. Defense Secretary Pete Hakeseth announced it on social media, clearing them with no punishment or further probe. The buzz started after videos show the chopper's hovering near Kid Rock's pool during a routine training flight from nearby Fort Campbell. He was out there clapping and saluting them. Army brass initially grounded the crews while checking aviation rules and safety standards. Kid Rock shrugged it off, saying flights like that happen often around his place. He's a huge military fan, has performed for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and even host advice present in JD Vance at the base last Thanksgiving. Earlier, the Army called the suspension a standard move during reviews for federal aviation compliance. Officials wrapped it up quick, letting the pilots back in the air. Looks like this one's all cleared up. Looks a quick fly by salute between patriots that sparked some headlines, but ended on a high

note.
