Army Suspends Aircrew After Apache Helicopters Flew Near Kid Rock’s Home

The step signals a serious review of whether Fort Campbell pilots followed flight rules near the Nashville estate.

Overview

  • Flights recorded Saturday near the singer’s Nashville estate led the Army to suspend the aircrew pending a review of compliance with flight and airspace rules.
  • The AH-64 Apache helicopters came from Fort Campbell and were on a Nashville-area training route, according to the 101st Airborne Division.
  • Division officials said there was no official request from Kid Rock for the low pass at his Whites Creek property.
  • The aircraft also flew over a large “No Kings” protest in Nashville, which the Army described as coincidental to the training route.
  • The viral clips drew sharp online criticism over the optics and potential misuse of taxpayer-funded aircraft.
