Two U.S. military AH-64 Apache helicopters that flew past musician Kid Rock’s house briefly stopped in mid-air while Kid Rock saluted them and waved. The pilots were later suspended but the decision was subsequently reversed, the Associated Press reported on April 1.

In the frigid morning of February 12, 2025, near an undisclosed location in Ukraine, a Mi-8 helicopter descended onto a makeshift landing zone. The crew, part of the 16th Separate Army Aviation Brigade from Brody, had just returned from a mission targeting Russian positions in the Donbas region. Pilots Yurii and Pavlo, both 24, shared their experiences operating the aging Mi-8 helicopters under constant threat from Russian air defenses.
