NEWSAR · AI

The U.S. Army is conducting an administrative review after two AH-64 Apache helicopters hovered near Kid Rock's Nashville home on Saturday during a training exercise. Kid Rock posted videos of himself saluting the helicopters as they flew near his property, which prompted the review. The 101st Airborne Division, based at Fort Campbell, confirmed that the helicopters were on a training run and that there was no official request from Kid Rock for them to be there. While the helicopters also overflew a Nashville protest, the Army stated the training run was unrelated. The review aims to determine if the mission adhered to safety standards, professionalism, flight regulations, and airspace requirements, and appropriate action will be taken if violations are found.
