Driving to lunch today, I say one of the helicopters mentioned a couple
of days ago on the net.  It had two large sets of blades, one fore, one
aft, clearly counterrotating, and intermeshing (one posting said "like
eggbeater blades").  It had no "tail" rotor (or any vertical blades, for
that matter).

It was flying into Moffett Naval Air Station.  Presumably U.S.
manufactured, but I have no idea what kind of helicopter it is.
