[Swede]

Good.

Kid Rock posted videos of two AH 64 Apache helicopters flying over his Tennessee home last weekend.

1. Now do the same

For the people that order them to do that.

[Norrrm]

2. How much medal will Trump/Hegseth give them?

[tanyev]

3. So it wasn't an approved training route as reported earlier??

19. CAAF-Nashville-CAAF is a common training route for 101st pilots

CAAF: Campbell Army Airfield. There are two airfields on Campbell: Campbell Army Airfield, which is used by most of the aviation units on post and is also where they fly cargo jets into, and Saber Army Heliport, which is pretty much for the exclusive use of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

It's about 60 air miles from Fort Campbell to Nashville and Nashville is congested airspace (compared to the airspace around Clarksville, anyway) so if the order of the day Is to fly for one hour, they will often fly over Nashville, keep going until the hour meter hits 30 minutes then fly back. The alternative is to go to the 101st's Synthetic Flight Training Facility and fly an Apache simulator, which isn't the same.

What is NOT common is hovering over anyone's home. They get more than a little upset if you do that.

4. It must of happened when kid was reloading to shoot at more cases of Bud Light.

It probably caused him to crap his jean shorts!

15. Following Illegal orders?

These pilots are officers and know better.
MUST disregard illegal orders.
They are just Trump loving A Holes - Bust them down to Privates.
Send them over to one of the fronts lines as Grunts.

[jmowreader]

20. They don't have enough pilots to do that!

Given that, I can think of a few less-than-pleasant places to reassign them to, like Fort Hood.

[bluestarone]

5. I'm sure these pilots we thrown under the bus.

The ones that order this shit NEVER takes the heat.

[spanone]

6. Good. Assholes.

[Initech]

7. Good! Fuck' em and fuck Kid Rock too!

[walkingman]

8. Suspends? Really? What does that mean?

[BannonsLiver]

9. It means they're grounded. They can't fly helicopters.

[AverageOldGuy]

12. Won't mean shit . . .

. . . if their flight pay is not docked and their next fitness reports are rated zero for judgment.

[BannonsLiver]

13. I don't make the rules so who knows.

[walkingman]

21. Willing to bet that won't last long....they are more than likely laughing their ass off.

[JI7]

10. How did it happen ? Who made the decision ?

and how was it requested ?

11. Coworker was a Blackhawk pilot

He flew out of Lansing MI, or near there in the Army reserve. Several years ago he calls up our boss who lived in Caledonia and said, “Hey, look outside your house and look up.” Sure enough he was above his house in a Blackhawk.

Not sure how off the flight plan his house was, could have been right near where they were going past. Or maybe he was just supposed to go log some hours. But I think he stayed a few hundred feet above the ground.

2 of them though flying ground level seems dangerous and a violation of air rules.

[Warpy]

16. That shit flies over my neighborhood most days

Oh, wait....

[GiqueCee]

17. Whaddya bet...

... this trail leads back to Kegsbreath. He's just the sort of slimy turd that would throw the pilots under the bus for something he ordered them to do for his buddy, Bobby "Kid Shithead" Ritchie. Pure speculation, true, but sadly plausible.

[ToxMarz]

22. This wan't the pilots doing, although they were flying and being made scapegoats

How do they even know who's house is Manbaby Rocks,and what was Manbaby doing just standing there waving at them. Any normal person not in on the plan would be freaking out, particularly a right wing conspiracy theorist 'celebrity' with delusions of granduer and lots of guns. This was planned by Manbaby and Hegseth for a social media post.
