Kid Rock, the pro-Trump rock star, was recently spotted flying in the gunner’s seat of an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter provided by the US military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined him for the 10-minute flight, which took place on a Monday afternoon. The incident has left many taxpayers wondering whether they paid for it.
Pentagon officials said the flight was part of preparations for America’s 250th birthday celebration in July, though it remains unclear if taxpayer money was used to fund the trip. The AH-64 Apache is one of the US military’s most powerful attack helicopters, usually equipped with a 30mm nose-mounted auto-cannon and anti-tank missiles, with each unit estimated to cost tens of millions of dollars, reports The Independent.
