Rescue Helicopter?
Does anybody know the make and model of the twin rotor, twin boom, four-wheeled/skid, orange and white Search and Rescue helicopter with the rear opening entry hatch? (trying to be as specific as possible)

shareIt's like a Kaman Huskie HH-43.

Yeah I was kind of like WTF? when I saw the counter-rotating rotor blades. I thought for sure they were going to hit each other.
shareThe Huskie’s twin-bladed rotors were synchronized so that the blades intermeshed, like the whisks on an eggbeater. The rotors canceled out each other’s torque, eliminating the need for a tail rotor.
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
Great helicopter. As a kid in the '50s I built a model of one. Definitely the high point of the...er...movie.
