Kid Rock Flyin' Shotgun on Army Chopper!!!
Published
Kid Rock took a ride in a military helicopter Monday ... sitting in the gunner's seat as part of the celebration of America's 250th birthday.
The Apache chopper buzzed the D.C. area ... and cameras were rolling for Memorial Day, the big Independence Day birthday, and Kid Rock's Freedom 250 tour.
A Pentagon spokesperson tells TMZ DC ... "At each stop along his [upcoming] tour, Kid Rock has generously pledged 1,000 free tickets for members of the military and veterans."
According to journalist Ryan Grim, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also sat shotgun in a second Apache helicopter.
We haven't been able to get hold of video ... at least not yet.
It's not the first intersection between Kid Rock and military choppers -- an Apache helicopter buzzed Kid's Nashville home back in March. The pilots were briefly suspended, but Hegseth quickly cleared them of any wrongdoing.
