Apache Pilots Back in the Cockpit | US News
Description
Eight South Carolina National Guard helicopter pilots are back in the cockpit after being temporarily grounded for flying too low over beachgoers during the Fourth of July “Salute from the Shore” event — a tradition that now includes Apache helicopters for the first time. While the display drew cheers and social media attention, the low passes sparked safety concerns, leading to a suspension described as routine, not disciplinary. Critics, including some Republicans and even the governor, defended the pilots, while War Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed support, urging them to “Carry on, Patriots.” The suspension has now been lifted, though an internal review remains unconfirmed.
