Looks like a Kaman Huskie to me

Its no Kaman Huskie, they have one tail boom, andour mystery heli has 2, and another thing is that the US military never used Kaman Huskie, (i think)

All twin rotored aircraft use one engine and a drive shaft for the 2 roters, its cheaper, lighter and saves alot more fuel that way, so if the engine failed, you would not be doomed by the toruqe, becuse ther would be none, the desiegners arnt idiots ya know, they thnik be fore they do.

Have another look & check out Matt's links. http://www.talkingproud.us/Military020105B.html
Quote: 'the USAF decided in May 1964 to deploy the HH-43 "Huskie" to Vietnam and Thailand to do search and rescue (SAR), and the Commander-in-chief Pacific (CINCPAC) finally agreed in June 1964. The aircraft and crews got over there in a hurry, the first arriving in June, the first USAF SAR aircraft to get into the war.'
