美国国防部长皮特·黑格斯瑟于周二表示,在两架阿帕奇直升机被拍到在歌手兼说唱艺人基德·罗克的住宅上空盘旋后,不会启动相关调查,并宣布已撤销涉事飞行员的停飞处分。
“感谢@KidRock。@美国陆军 飞行员停飞处分已撤销。无处罚,无调查。继续前行,爱国者们,”黑格斯瑟周二通过个人账号在X平台上发文称。
就在数小时前,一名陆军发言人表示,该机组人员已被暂停飞行任务,陆军将就为何阿帕奇AH-64直升机在周末训练任务期间飞抵这位歌手位于纳什维尔的住宅以及一处“无国王”抗议场地展开正式调查。
目前尚不清楚此次训练任务的具体目的,也未立即得知此次停飞处分涉及多少人。
基德·罗克在接受当地ABC附属机构WKRN采访时表示,他认为该机组人员“不会有事”。
“我的哥们儿是三军统帅,”他在谈及特朗普总统时补充道。
他还表示,自己不清楚陆军在调查什么,因为直升机“停了大概多久?几秒?一分钟?”
基德·罗克已于周六在社交媒体上发布了两段直升机的相关视频。其中一段视频显示,一架直升机在他的住宅上空盘旋,他站在泳池边,身旁有一座自由女神像复制品,并在直升机飞离前向飞行员敬礼。另一段视频从不同角度拍摄,基德·罗克对着住宅外的第一架直升机挥舞拳头,随后第二架直升机飞过。
一名陆军发言人周一表示,军方已启动一项行政审查。“陆军飞行员必须遵守严格的安全标准、职业操守和既定飞行规则,”蒙特雷尔·拉塞尔少校称,此次审查将“评估任务情况,核实是否遵守相关规定和空域要求。若发现任何违规行为,将采取相应措施。”
第101空降师发言人乔纳森·布莱斯少校也表示,该指挥部已展开调查。
在接受WKRN采访时,基德·罗克提到,这些飞行员从坎贝尔堡起飞,他经常能看到这些直升机,并称:“这已经不是他们第一次飞越我家上空了。”基德·罗克表示,他去年在感恩节庆祝活动上与坎贝尔堡的飞行员们有过交流。这位曾与副总统JD·万斯一同出席该节日活动的歌手称,他告诉飞行员们,随时欢迎他们途经他家,“这无伤大雅”。

Hegseth lifts suspension of Army pilots who flew by Kid Rock’s house, says there won’t be investigation

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday there won’t be an investigation after two Apache helicopters were seen hovering outside the home of singer and rapper Kid Rock, and he announced that the pilots’ suspension has been lifted.
“Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots,” Hegseth wrote Tuesday on X from his personal account.
Just hours earlier, an Army spokesperson said the crew had been suspended from flying while the Army conducts a formal investigation into why the AH-64 helicopters flew near the singer’s Nashville house and a “No Kings” protest during a training mission over the weekend.
It’s not clear what the purpose of the training mission was. It was also not immediately clear how many people the suspension had affected.
Kid Rock said in an interview with local ABC affiliate WKRN that he thinks the crew is “going to be alright.”
“My buddy’s commander-in-chief,” he added, referring to President Trump.
He also said he didn’t know what the Army was looking into, as the helicopters “stopped for, I don’t know, seconds? A minute?”
Kid Rock had posted two videos of the helicopters on social media Saturday. In one of the videos, a helicopter is seen hovering outside his house while he stands poolside next to a replica of the Statue of Liberty and salutes the pilots before they fly away. In another video, seen from a different angle, Kid Rock is pumping his fist at the first helicopter outside his house. A second helicopter then flies past.
An Army spokesperson said Monday that the branch had launched an administrative review. “Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations,” Maj. Montrell Russell said, and the review would “assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.”
Maj. Jonathon Bless, a spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, also said the command had opened an investigation.
In his interview with WKRN, Kid Rock noted that the pilots fly from Fort Campbell and he often sees the helicopters, saying: “It’s not the first time they’ve flown over my house.” Kid Rock said he spoke to pilots at Fort Campbell last year during a Thanksgiving celebration. The singer, who appeared at the holiday event with Vice President JD Vance, said he told the pilots they are “always welcome” to cruise by his house, and that “it’s harmless.”
