Pentagon lifts suspension for South Carolina helicopter pilots following July 4 beach event
Eight South Carolina National Guard helicopter pilots suspended after flying low over crowded beaches during the July 4 “Salute from the Shore” event were reinstated after a Pentagon decision. Officials emphasized the suspension was a routine, non-punitive safety review prompted by social media concerns. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and local political leaders criticized the grounding and voiced support for the pilots. National Guard officials reiterated that the review ensured adherence to safety standards while maintaining community trust.
