These Apaches belonged to a different country, I was not able to recognize the flag on their flight suits but it looked almost identical to the Singapore Flag except it was green on the top half instead of red. Any help is welcome I tried looking for the flag online but no luck.
I don't recall ever having been to Apache Junction, Arizona, but I've flown over it a few times during my flights to and from Phoenix from the Midwest. Here it is again on my most recent trip in late January 2020.
There is a legend that "Apache" warriors were trapped on the large rock ledge by cavalry troops from Camp Pinal. Rather than surrender, however, about 75 of the warriors leaped off the cliff to their deaths. It was because of this incident that the cliff became known as "Apache Leap Mountain." Fragments of translucent obsidian nodules (merikanites) embedded in perlite that can be found not far from the cliff are now called "Apache Tears" by rockhounds and Superior Arizona area residents.
While visiting the Apache Railway in Snowflake, AZ, we learned that the Apache had dispatched a train to Holbrook, AZ, so we drove up to Holbrook to catch the train working the Interchange with the BNSF. While it would have been nice to wait around for the train to head back to Snowflake, we had a tight schedule, so we didn't wait for the Apache to finish putting their train together.10/24/2018

The Yavapai-Apache Nation is a federally recognized Native American tribe in the Verde Valley, Arizona. Tribal members share two culturally distinct backgrounds and speak two indigenous languages, the Yavapai language and the Western Apache language. The Yavapai-Apache Nation Indian Reservation consists of four non-contiguous parcels of land located in three separate communities in eastern Yavapai County. The two largest sections, 576 acres together – almost 90 percent of the reservation's territory, are in the town of Camp Verde. Smaller sections are located in the town of Clarkdale, 60.17 acres, and the unincorporated community of Lake Montezuma (5.8 acres). The reservation's total land area is 642 acres. The total resident population of the reservation was 743 persons as of the 2000 census. Of these, 512 lived in Camp Verde, 218 in Clarkdale, and only 13 in Lake Montezuma.

California Army National Guard's Bravo Co. 1-126th Aviation Regiment, Delta Schooners, based out of Stockton, flew two of their CH-47 Chinooks to the Marines Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif., high in the Sierra mountains, March 28, 2014, to support Hawaiian-based 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines conducting high elevation training. More than 600 snow clad Marines armed to the teeth and packed for an extended stay in snow conditions were airlifted to their landing zones in multiple insertions. During the operation Utah Army National Guard's 1-211th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion AH-64 Apache helicopters circled above providing protection to the Marines who were made up of weapon and mortar platoons, to name a few. During the trip there and back Vertical Magazine had a photography onboard shooting air-to-air images for upcoming publication. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Paul Wade)
A pretty intimidating flying machine, no matter how you look at it. Especially that gun turret on front that's electronically linked to the co-pilot's helmet to automatically aim wherever they look.
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.

USA 2002 Arizona Fort Apache
Fort Apache Historic Park (Tł’óghagai in Apache) is a tribal historic park of the White Mountain Apache, located at the former site of Fort Apache in the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The park interprets the rich and troubled history of relations between the Apache and other Native American tribes at the fort, which was converted into a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school after its military use ended. The park, which covers 288 acres (117 ha) of the former fort and school, as well as a nearby military cemetery, form the National Historic Landmark Fort Apache and Theodore Roosevelt School historic district.

Description and history
Fort Apache is located in the southern part of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the reservation capital at Whiteriver just east of Arizona State Route 73. The park includes a landscape of 27 historic buildings, ruins and remnants of others, and the fort's former parade ground. The White Mountain Apache Cultural Center (Nohwike’ Bágowa, or House of Our Footprints, in Apache), is located at the western end of the park.[2]
The fort was established in 1870 as a temporary military camp, and was placed on a more permanent footing ten years later. It played a crucial role in the Indian Wars of the late 19th century, serving first as a check on Apache control of the area, and later as a recruitment point for Apaches as scouts in conflicts with other tribes. The fort was one of the places where African-American Buffalo Soldiers were stationed. Only a few buildings survive from the early years of the fort's history, including a log cabin that served as an early commandant's quarters, a guardhouse, and an adjutant's office. Barracks and other quarters built in the 1880s and 1890s also survive.[2]
Its use as a military facility obsolete, the property was in 1923 turned over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which established the Theodore Roosevelt School on the property. It was established as a boarding school providing educational services to several Native tribes in the region. Although it was located on Apache tribal land, the school was mainly intended to educate Navajo youth, by removing them from their reservation and encouraging the adoption of non-Native customs. This practice of the BIA was widely disliked by the tribes.[2]
During the school's boarding period (a tribal school of the same name continues to operate in some of the buildings) a variety of further buildings were added to the site, including a cafeteria, additional dormitories, and maintenance buildings. A significant number of these buildings still survive, and have been repurposed to other functions by the tribe.[2]
