It was headed at our county airport which is not unusual. Never seen one like it definitely an attack helicopter I'm pretty sure it had duel rotors I did not think we had something like that in service.

Any idea what it could have been?

Based on the pics, it's definitely a dikfer. Highly classified.

Dikfer Model 87.

You need to do some googling and post some similar pics or do some MS Paint because the amount of info you have provided does not make it a compelling question to answer.

Like two baldes on top of each other?

Or more like the osprey?

Negative.

I have it from sources on the inside that it's the Henweigh Model 87 technology demonstrator.

Super secret, hush hush, this thread will soon self-destruct.

Didn't have time to take a picture. I don't think there are many dual rotor helos out there.

Could have been that V-280 the Army is looking at.

Possibly an Osprey
Maybe OP doesn't get out of the basement much and/or saw it from an odd angle?

Wasn't a osprey. Rotors were stacked.

I just heard a helicopter. It was loud. What kind was it?

Posted: 2/17/2018 3:26:57 PM EST

[#26]

"Definitely an attack helicopter" based upon A) ordnance hanging off hardpoints, or B) simply a narrow, non-troop carrying fuselage?

If the latter, maybe a K-Max? Only thing I can think of with intermeshing rotors that fits the bill in the US. Primarily used in logging and other external lift ops, but the military has a limited number of them. Kaman K-Max

Russian attack helicopters in Virginia? There can be no other explanation.

Posted: 2/17/2018 3:32:08 PM EST

What color?

100% sure it wasn't a transverse dual rotor setup? Could have been a Kaman.

Only other US aircraft I can think of that looks attacky would be the Raider mentioned above, but AFAIK they were testing in Florida.

It did but weren't as loud as say a black hawk. I knew dual rotors were supposed to have that advantage. Had kind of a unique sound.

That definitely sounds like a K-Max, and they do flight testing in several locations in Virginia. I ran into a couple of Marines that were testing the unmanned ones at YPG back in 2011, it's a neat system.

The rotor shafts are close together so it could be very easy to mistake for a conventional dual rotor system.

unless they bought maybe a russian chopper from the ukraine for opfor training. I know they had a hind imported from Iraq for that.

and was not a big ass chinook?

would not surprise me if they were trying a gunship version again for Afghanistan for the higher altitudes

The army does flight exorsises back in forth from were ever their base is and eat lunch at the little airport. Seen mostly Black Hawks and Apaches never anything that looked like that before.
