The National Guard suspended 8 Apache helicopter pilots who flew in the “Salute to the Shore” flyover across the South Carolina coast on the Fourth of July.
No reason has been given.
The pilots reportedly got a message saying they were suspended pending an investigation as soon as they landed.
One of the Apache pilots told ABC 15 that he was excited about the flyover show.
“Oh, it’s going to be fun,” Capt. Kyle Wise told ABC 15.
“You can’t beat it, especially for America’s 250th birthday; those beaches are going to be packed. We’re hoping, pending a few different variables, to stay safe, but we’re open to giving them a show and trying to get as low as feasibly possible.” Wise said.
