A formation of twenty-four AH-64E Apache attack helicopters assigned to the 1-151st Aviation Regiment, Attack Reconnaissance Battalion (ARB), 59th Troop Command, South Carolina Army National Guard, performs a battalion formation flight during Operation Guardian Angels (OGA), Columbia, South Carolina, April 2, 2023. The formation took off from McEntire Joint National Guard Base (JNGB), flew over Columbia downtown and Lake Murray, and returned to McEntire JNGB after performing doctrinal rejoins and maneuvers throughout the flight. OGA was part of a larger training exercise, Operation Guardian Spring, involving several South Carolina Army National Guard commands. OGA’s primary objective was to test multi-ship operations for crews, maintainers, and flight operations personnel; moreover, the training presented an opportunity for the 1-151st ARB to test its ability to maintain effective command and control of a large formation and verify the operational capabilities of aircraft and crews, in the context of a battalion-level mission.

These Apache boys are part of Chief Naiche's group, camped above Canyon de Los Embudos during peace talks with General Crook. Only after certain tests and ceremonies were Apache boys considered warriors. Note that even the young boys wore two cartridge belts and were well-armed. Photographed in March 1886 by Camillus Sidney Fly.
Apache is a lovely southwestern Oklahoma community located in southern Caddo County between Anadarko and Lawton.
Naiche
ca. 1857-1919
Naiche, the last hereditary leader of the Chiricahua Apache, was born in the Dragoon Mountains in about 1857, the youngest son of Cochise and Doh-The-She, the daughter of Mangas Coloradas. He became chief after his brother Taza died in 1876.
In 1872, a treaty established a Chiricahua reservation that included most of Cochise County. Four years later following Cochise’s death, federal authorities dissolved the reservation and moved the tribe to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Unacceptable conditions and conflict caused the Chiricahua to flee the reservation numerous times over the next decade, often led by Naiche and Geronimo.
In September 1886, Naiche’s band surrendered and were taken to Florida to join the Chiricahua imprisoned there as a tactic to force the renegades to end hostilities. In all, the Chiricahua served 27 years as prisoners of war. Conditions were abysmal and many died. After two years in Florida, the survivors transferred first to Alabama's Mt. Vernon Barracks and then to Fort Sill, Oklahoma where they remained until 1913 when they were released as POWs and given a choice of staying in the Fort Sill area or joining the Mescalero Apache in New Mexico. Naiche and his family moved to Mescalero.
Naiche and his wife Ha-o-zinne had five surviving children. Two other wives, Nah-de-yole and Eclah-eh, and eight other children died as prisoners of war while at Fort Sill. After converting to Christianity, he took Christian as his first name. He died at Mescalero in 1919 of influenza.

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.
Fokker Aerostructures in Hoogeveen had het genoegen een speciale delegatie van het Amerikaanse bedrijf Boeing te mogen ontvangen. De amerikanen hebben een meerdaags programma voortgeschoteld gekregen, waarbij de gevechtshelikopter "Apache" centraal stond.
Fokker maakt enkele high-technische onderdelen voor dit unieke helikoptermodel. Aan het eind van het bezoek werd een glazen Apache overhandigt.
Glaskunstenaar Alwin overwater mocht dit complexe model van glas maken. Meer foto's www.glasblazer.nl/speciale-opdrachten/67-boeing-ontvangt-...
