Armia Stanów Zjednoczonych wszczęła przegląd administracyjny po tym, jak dwa śmigłowce AH-64 Apache wykonały niski przelot nad posiadłością muzyka Kid Rocka w Tennessee w sobotę, 28 marca 2026 roku. Maszyny należące do 101st Airborne Division, stacjonującej w Fort Campbell na granicy Tennessee i Kentucky, leciały w ramach rutynowego lotu szkoleniowego nad okolicą Nashville. Kid Rock nagrał zdarzenie i opublikował je na Instagramie, pokazując, jak klaszcze, salutuje i unosi pięść, gdy śmigłowce przelatują obok jego domu.
Armia sprawdza lot szkoleniowy
Po przelocie dwóch śmigłowców AH-64 Apache nad posiadłością Kid Rocka armia USA wszczęła przegląd administracyjny. Major Montrell Russell powiedział, że chodzi o ocenę misji i zgodności z przepisami oraz wymogami przestrzeni powietrznej.
Kid Rock opublikował nagranie na Instagramie
Muzyk, którego nazwisko to Robert James Ritchie, pokazał na wideo, jak klaszcze, salutuje i unosi pięść. W podpisie skierował wulgarną uwagę do gubernatora Kalifornii Gavina Newsoma.
Przelot nad protestem i posiadłością
Tego samego dnia dwa śmigłowce przeleciały też nad protestem „No Kings” wymierzonym w administrację Trumpa. Armia utrzymuje, że nie było to związane z demonstracją ani z polityką.
Posiadłość jako kopia Białego Domu
Rezydencja Kid Rocka, położona 96 kilometrów na północny zachód od Nashville, jest wzorowana na Białym Domu. Według SIC Notícias budowa trwała około 20 lat.
The United States Army launched an administrative review after two AH-64 Apache helicopters made a low-altitude pass over the Tennessee estate of musician Kid Rock on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The aircraft, belonging to the 101st Airborne Division based at Fort Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, were conducting a routine training flight over the Nashville area when they maneuvered near the hillside property. Kid Rock, whose legal name is Robert James Ritchie and who is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, captured the moment on video and posted it to Instagram, showing himself applauding, saluting, and raising his fist as the helicopters flew past. The Army confirmed that no official request had been made by Kid Rock for the aircraft to detour toward his property. Army spokesman Major Montrell Russell confirmed the review was underway.
„An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with the regulations and the airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are detected.” — Major Montrell Russell via SIC Notícias
Kid Rock drwi z gubernatora Kalifornii we wpisie, który szybko się rozszedł In his Instagram caption accompanying the videos, Kid Rock directed a profanity at California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat frequently critical of the Trump administration, and contrasted the flyby with what he described as a form of respect Newsom would never receive. The post quickly drew widespread attention given the politically charged nature of the gesture and Kid Rock's prominent alignment with Trump. „This is the level of respect that the governor of California will never know. God bless America and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend it.” — Kid Rock via adevarul.ro The videos show the helicopters flying over the pool on his property, with the Nashville skyline visible in the background. A sign reading "Southern White House" is clearly visible on a wall in the footage, and Kid Rock appears alongside a miniature Statue of Liberty on the grounds. Gavin Newsom has served as the 40th governor of California since 2019 and has been a consistent critic of the Trump administration's policies.
Śmigłowce przeleciały tego samego dnia także nad protestem przeciw Trumpowi On the same day as the flyby over Kid Rock's estate, the two Apache helicopters also flew over a "No Kings" protest directed against the Trump administration, though Army representatives stated there was no connection between the training mission and the demonstration. Major Jonathon Bless, a spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, described the flights as part of a routine training exercise, noting that such operations over the Nashville area are common given the division's proximity at Fort Campbell. The Army emphasized in its official statement that military pilots are held to strict standards of safety and professionalism. The simultaneous passage over both a celebrity supporter of the president and an anti-administration protest added a layer of political sensitivity to what the Army characterized as an ordinary training run. Investigators are examining whether the mission's routing complied with all applicable regulations and airspace requirements.
Posiadłość wzniesiono jako kopię Białego Domu przez ponad dwie dekady Kid Rock's property, located 96 (kilometrów) — 96 kilometrów na północny zachód od Nashville northwest of Nashville, is a replica of the White House spanning and reportedly took approximately 20 years to build, according to reporting by SIC Notícias. The property features distinctive interior details including gold urinals and showers, and the "Southern White House" signage visible in the viral video underscores the estate's deliberate architectural homage. The case has prompted broader questions about the boundaries of military training exercises in civilian airspace and the potential political implications of high-profile, publicly shared military gestures. The 101st Airborne Division, known as the "Screaming Eagles," is a storied U.S. Army unit specializing in air assault operations and stationed at Fort Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. Training flights over the Nashville metropolitan area are a regular feature of the division's exercise schedule given the base's geographic proximity. The U.S. military maintains a formal policy of political neutrality and independence from partisan movements, a standard that underpins the current administrative review. The Army has not indicated a timeline for completing the review, but Major Russell stated that appropriate measures would follow if violations were identified. The incident drew attention across U.S. media on March 31, 2026, as questions mounted over whether the routing of the training flight carried any unofficial political dimension.
