This! Live in the PNW and was outside with dogs yesterday when one of those massive choppers flew over heading south, the kind that carry tanks and all in them. It was huge and it was loud could hear both sets of blades swooshing. It was cloudy though so only could get glimpses of it as it went over.
Don't know one from the other tbh, just was real big one with two sets of large blades front and back and was peekaboo through the clouds. I saw one last year and it had a large, thick projectile (metal pole or something) as a payload, the tip of whatever it was stuck out Infront and in back of the chopper by a good chunk of feet like nearly half the length of the chopper itself more, was wondering how it landed carrying something like that. lol. One lil bob forward or back would have the payload hit the pavement. Looked real awkward.

Chinooks? Aircranes?
Chinook has two sets of rotor blades. Passengers.
