towing a drogue? Definitely not a bird!
Love to see these gunships passing overhead from the local air base here in Suffolk!
(Though they may have been operated by Suffolk Police, who also have these beauties!)
I have not seen one towing a drogue or what-have-you before today though!
I had my big lens with me today and took my first shot of this chopper as he flew parallel to me .. then he turned and flew towards me .. But all was well! Phew eh? 😁
I even got almost as much detail as I'd like too! 😁

Antonio Apache was a man of considerable mystery. He claimed to be an Apache orphan who was educated at Harvard through the generosity of American Army soldiers who had found him as an infant. He was put forward to be the supervisor of the American Indian pavilion at the Panamerican Exposition in Buffalo in 1901. Later, he managed the Indian Village in Los Angeles which was a living history type demonstration of Indian folkways and craft making. His passport application was made in 1919 to allow him to act as the representative of a group of San Francisco land speculators with interests interests in oil-bearing properties in Baja California.
Interestingly, his identity as an Indian was seriously called into question in 1907 by several New York artists who claimed that they had discovered that he was a negro who pretended to be an Indian in order to land modeling jobs in the city. Apache denied all accusations. It is unclear from the New York Times story on the controversy whether the claims were proved true or whether two men of the same name were being confused.
I am including details from Antonio Apache's passport application, a timeline of documented incidents in his life and links to New York Times articles that mention him.
In 1896 Antonio Apache, “an educated Indian”, was invited to address the annual conference of The Friends of the Indian gathered at Mohonk Lake, NY.

On July 24, 1900 Antonio Apache breakfasted with Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of New York and Gen. Leonard Wood, Governor General of Cuba. Gen. Wood recommended to Gov. Roosevelt that Apache be appointed to supervise the Indian Exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo to be held in 1901. – NYT July 25, 1900

The July 4th 1907 edition of the New York Times contains a lengthy article headlined, “Antonio Apache Says He’s No Negro”. The article goes on to recount accusations that Apache, who purports to have been educated at Harvard and currently runs the Indian Crafts Exhibition In Los Angeles, is actually no Indian but the son of a negro cook working for the prominent Russell Sage family of New York. Antonio Apache’s denials are also featured as is speculation that there may be two men of the same name whose lives have overlapped in some way.

In the 1910 Census, Antonio Apache is listed as the manager of Indian Village on Mission Road in Los Angeles. Indian Village was an attraction that purported to show the public authentic Indian daily life. It was located near the future site of Luna Park.
In 1919, he obtained a passport to travel in Mexico as a representative of a group of land speculators who wished to exploit oil resources in the Baja Peninsula.
I have found no further record of him.

The Apache Plume (Fallugia paradoxa) is a bush native to the Southwestern US and Northern Mexico. The flower is roselike when new, with rounded white petals and a center filled with many thready stamens and pistils. The ovary of the flower remains after the white petals fall away, leaving many plumelike lavender styles, each 3 to 5 centimeters long.
We seem to be 3-4 weeks behind Deming and Silver City, so we still have white blossoms blooming.
