trogloherb Apr 3, 2026 +77

Thats what crosses my mind; as a taxpayer, how much did that little stunt cost me? Like, my understanding of helicopter flight is if you ever have to cover the cost of a “lifeline” medial flight, even with insurance, its in the tens of thousands, so how much did this cost us?

77

SirWEM Apr 3, 2026 +30

In 2012 my friend Josh(RIP) had a 10min life-flight from glens falls hospital to Albany Med in NY. That 10min cost him with insurance through our union over $45K. He didn’t even remember anything from it due to the traumatic brain injury.

SwingKey3599 Apr 3, 2026 +5

the raw cost of fuel is around 5k an hour

Numerous_Photograph9 Apr 3, 2026 +6

Military can't sharpen a pencil without it costing a couple hundred grand, so I imagine a fly by in an expensive helicopter manned by multiple servicemen is probably going to cost a bit.

6

Eisbaer811 Apr 3, 2026

Chances are this was a training flight. So no extra cost, whereas every lifeline flight is unplanned and therefore extra cost. Still a moronic thing to do and bad training, but hard to compare on a cost basis

BlakeSurfing Apr 3, 2026 -24

We were already paying for this flight regardless of the stunt. This isn’t costing us more. They need to fly regularly to maintain skills. There’s plenty of reasons to be upset with our DOD but this isn’t one of them.

Neither-Ad8673 Apr 3, 2026 +19

I have enough room to be upset about one more thing

Donniedolphin Apr 3, 2026 +5

This is absolutely one of them. They could be doing anything else. Training for an actual combat scenario rather than doing a flyby for kid rock.

5

Numerous_Photograph9 Apr 3, 2026 +3

It's typical to fly well below safety decks in a civilian area so some aging irrelevant dumbass can feel special about himself? If they need to train fine...but it's not like they're doing something good here, or even legal. I'm also damn sure it breaks several codes of military conduct.

Potential_Day_7087 Apr 3, 2026 +2

Good try. It’s a needless waste of tax dollars and training time. And you know it.

He reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Bart and Homer take over the ring toss game so a Carny and his son can attend an AA meeting. Chief Wiggum comes up saying he’s received complaints about the game being rigged, clearly fishing for a bribe. He spells it out to such a comical degree that even Bart picks up on it but is silenced by Homer who is “Busy talking to the policeman”. The best part is when Wiggum gives him one last chance to get on the trolley and Homer looks him dead in the eyes silently for a beat before proudly proclaiming “It’s A Ring Toss Game!” That’s Kid Rock. Just keep doubling down until people get tired of trying to call your bluff. He knows he can just tap in with his plugs at the methadone clinic to replenish his stash of delinquents who, for whatever reason, still vibe with his talentless ass. Let that be a lesson to you kids, opioids not even once (unless under professional supervision) otherwise you might wake up one day and discover that you became a Kid Rock fan in addition to being shackled with liquid handcuffs.

Your comment has me laughing Went to a Metallica show at an outdoor festival. Kidrock was on stage, I went to get drinks. Super close to the stage, and noticed he was lip- syncing. Got back to my friends, started to tell them: there was a power glitch, and he was still pretending to sing, with no power. We laughed so much. Sadly the glitch became a power outage because one of the sound crew messed up and blew the circuits. No Metallica. But Metallica rescheduled and had a new opening band

Just curious, what does it cost per hour to fly, crew and maintain a US attack helicopter? I know our own local air ambulances cost thousands. And why is Kid Croc saluting? Was he in the military?

1

Tmerrill0 Apr 3, 2026 +6

Happy cake day! Possible cost aside, it is also a problem because it has the appearance of being extremely unprofessional, which is a bad look for pilots in our military. We expect them to take their job seriously while they are in uniform and/or using our vehicles. Being playful or having fun on duty is how people needlessly end up dead and there is no room for that. Unless they were commanded to, they cannot be making their own decisions to do things like that, and if they were then whoever made the call needs to be held accountable

6

loyalone Apr 3, 2026 +1

Thanks! And, I agree with you; with the need for chain-of-command accountability, I doubt it was simply the pilots saying to each other, 'hey let's go buzz our buddy's place'.

What I never see spelled out is if these flights only took place because of Mr. Rock's presence. Military pilots have to amass X hours per month, and he says he's "in the flight path" of the helicopters coming and going. So one swinging by his house would cause zero cost to the US military.
