The US Army has suspended the helicopter crews involved in a recent incident near Kid Rock’s residence. The decision follows an investigation into a video the singer shared, which shows an Apache attack helicopter flying in close proximity to his Nashville home as he offers a salute.

In his Instagram post accompanying the video, Kid Rock commented, “This is a level of respect that some politicians, like the Governor of California, will never understand.” He also expressed his patriotism by saying, “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

The Army acknowledged the investigation yesterday, and today, they confirmed the suspension of the crews involved, pending the outcome of the inquiry.

“God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

The US Army confirmed an investigation was taking place yesterday.

And today the crews were suspended from duty as the investigation takes place.

“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’),” a statement read.

“The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.”

The singer has become one of the few celebrities to still associate himself with Donald Trump.
An early progenitor of the country-rap genre, Kid Rock was particularly successful in the United States. Several of his albums also made the charts in Australia.

The Army is also being asked about why military helicopters flew low over a crowd of anti-Trump protesters that same day.

The No Kings crowd in Nashville was buzzed by two Apaches. It is not apparent if it is the same helicopter in Kid Rock’s video.

“Our pilots do regularly fly routes outside the Fort Campbell area,” the Army spokesperson said.

“We just don’t know if it was incidental or if it was deliberate.”

Thousands of people took to the streets for the protest in Nashville, one of countless rallies across the US.
Organisers said at least eight million people took place in the demonstrations, largely protesting the Trump presidency.

Australians planning a holiday are facing a brutal blow with airfares set to surge and flights slashed as jet fuel supplies tighten and China curbs exports. From tomorrow, a return flight from Sydney to London with Cathay Pacific will be hit by an eye-watering $800 fuel surcharge on top of the usual ticket price. Qantas has already imposed a 5 per cent increase on international fares, while Virgin Australia has also begun raising its prices. Jetstar is quietly cancelling one in ten of its May flights in New Zealand, and Air New Zealand has already axed around 1,100 services. Experts warn prices are only going to get worse, with global jet fuel costs surging 11.2 per cent in a week to $175 a barrel - after jumping more than 80 per cent since late February, according to the International Air Transport Association.
