Army probes helicopter flyby near Kid Rock’s mansion
Two AH-64 Apache helicopters conducted a training run near Kid Rock’s hillside home, triggering an Army investigation into the close encounter.
Two AH-64 Apache helicopters on a training flight maneuvered near the hillside home and outdoor pool of Kid Rock, who was seen saluting the aircraft in footage that circulated online. The incident occurred on the same day as reports of a No Kings protest in the area.
An Army spokesperson said the helicopters were on a standard training mission and had no connection to the protest or any other event. The service will review airspace clearances, flight paths, and safety protocols following the flyby.
The clip shows the artist at the pool railing as the rotor blades pass overhead, a moment that has prompted questions about how close military training should come to civilian properties. Officials emphasized that the investigation is routine and aimed at ensuring strict adherence to safety standards and flight regulations.
While no additional details about potential disciplinary steps have been released, the Army confirmed an internal review is underway to assess the event and any implications for future operations.
