Pete Hegseth Reportedly Took Kid Rock on Apache Helicopter 'Joy Ride' [View all]

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reportedly took musician and Trump ally Kid Rock on not one but two Apache helicopters for a “joy ride” on Monday morning.

Drop Site reporter Ryan Grim shared the scoop in a post on X, alleging that he spoke to “multiple Army sources” who confirmed, “Kid Rock flew to Fort Belvoir this morning on his private jet and took a little joy ride on two Apache helicopters with War Secretary Pete Hegseth.”. The information, Grim wrote, was “backed up by flight data.”

While most Apache helicopters typically have two crew members, consisting of a pilot and co-pilot/gunner, Grim reported that Hegseth and Rock went up with only one pilot “so the boys could each ride shotgun.”

Grim claimed he reached out to Fort Belvoir for comment but was redirected to the Secretary of Defense’s office.
