Kid Rock took to the skies in a U.S. Army Apache helicopter on Monday, sitting in the gunner's seat as part of the celebrations for America's 250th birthday and his Freedom 250 tour.
The chopper flew over the Washington, D.C. area, with cameras capturing the moment. A Pentagon spokesperson told TMZ that at each stop along his upcoming tour, Kid Rock has pledged 1,000 free tickets for military members and veterans.
According to journalist Ryan Grim, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also rode in a second Apache helicopter during the flight.
This isn't the first time Kid Rock has been associated with military helicopters. In March, an Apache helicopter buzzed his Nashville-area home, leading to a brief suspension of the pilots—though Hegseth later cleared them of any wrongdoing.
