AH-64 Apache

The AH-64 Apache is a type of U.S. Army attack helicopter. Recently, two AH-64 Apaches became the subject of an administrative review after a video surfaced showing them hovering near musician Kid Rock's Tennessee home. Kid Rock, a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, posted videos of himself saluting the helicopters as they hovered near his swimming pool. The Army confirmed the helicopters were on a training route near Nashville. Initially, the crews of the helicopters were suspended pending the review. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later announced the suspension had been lifted, stating there would be "no punishment" or "investigation." The incident is newsworthy due to the intersection of military training exercises, celebrity involvement, and potential questions about the appropriateness of the helicopters' proximity to a private residence.
