Two of these passed over our house a few min ago. Very slowly and the motor sound was very loud. Obviously they were big.

I live near the Arizona National Guard Papago Park Military Reservation and so I'm sure it came from there. We do get some interesting craft from there overhead at times.

I'm just curious. What is it carrying? It looks like a bomb but I am guessing that it isn't. ?

I agree. This is a great picture. Faked me out. At first, I guessed Blackhawk.

Apache helicopter? Isn’t that derogatory to Indians?

The Boeing–Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche was canceled in 2004.

The "Huey" helicopter famous in Vietnam was actually named the Bell UH-1 Iroquois.   Then there was also the Black Hawk, Chinook, "H-13 Sioux" famous in Korea, and UH-72A Lakota, among others.
On June 10, 2012, Lakota elders ritually blessed two new South Dakota Army National Guard UH-72A Lakotas at a traditional ceremony on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. Ceremonies like these happened often over the past several decades.

So when you think of these helicopters, remember the spirit, confidence, agility, endurance and warrior ethos their names evoke!

That is my own photo and I uploaded it to IMBB because I did not know how to get it on here.

It might help if you informed us where you took the photo.

Yep, and arms hangers are above the cabin, Apache is midway down the side like this one.
