Army Launches Review After Helicopters Fly Low Near Kid Rock’s Home
The U.S. Army has launched an administrative review after two military attack helicopters were seen flying unusually low and hovering near the home of Kid Rock in Nashville, Tennessee.
The incident came to light after the musician shared videos on social media showing two AH-64 Apache helicopters flying close to his property, even hovering near his swimming pool. In the footage, Kid Rock is seen pointing toward the aircraft and saluting.
According to Army officials, both helicopters belong to the 101st Airborne Division, which is based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, approximately 60 miles from Nashville.
A spokesperson for the division said the helicopters were part of a planned training exercise that included routes over the Nashville area. However, officials acknowledged that an internal review is now underway to determine whether all safety protocols and flight regulations were properly followed.
“Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards and professionalism,” officials said, adding that appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.
The Army also clarified that the helicopter activity was not connected to ongoing “No Kings” protests taking place in Nashville at the time, calling any perceived link purely coincidental.
The AH-64 Apache is the Army’s primary attack helicopter and has been widely used in major military operations, including conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While military flyovers are relatively common, they are usually conducted during public events or coordinated demonstrations — not in close proximity to private residences, making this incident particularly unusual.
Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, commented on the incident in a social media post, praising the military and criticizing political opponents.
The Army has not yet released further details, and the findings of the review are expected to determine whether the flight complied with regulations.
