The U.S. Army has suspended the aircrew who were seen flying around Kid Rock’s Middle Tennessee home near Nashville over the weekend, a U.S. official confirmed to NBC News on Tuesday.
Fort Campbell confirmed to WSMV4 that a review is underway of the video posted by popular musician Kid Rock showing two Apache helicopters flying near his residence.
Kid Rock posted two videos on Saturday afternoon of two helicopters hovering outside his residence.
“Fort Campbell leadership is aware of a video circulating on social media depicting AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence associated with Mr. Robert Ritchie (also known as “Kid Rock”). The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.
“The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell maintain strict standards for aviation safety, professionalism, and adherence to established flight regulations. We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.”
Fort Campbell also said the helicopter’s route around Nashville was due to “training purposes” and that any association with the No Kings Rally was “coincidental.”
