Apache
Hi,
QUOTE-- The AH-64 Apache, as it is formally known, is manufactured by Boeing Aircraft. The helicopter's name reflects a longstanding military tradition of referencing Native American culture in the names for military helicopter, and “Apache” is an apt name for this aircraft, as this Native American tribe is famed for its militant nature and skilled performance in war.
--UNQUOTE
Could somebody please give me more examples (= using of the names of Native American tribes to designate US helicopters and other aircraft)?
