      It seems gone after a few passes. I’m curious what it was all about. Rescue? Emergency? I am assuming it’s too dangerous to do training in the middle of downtown.

          As a few better-informed people suggested, it was an HVAC unit replacement via a really interesting specialized cargo helicopter: https://twitter.com/banffchris/status/990229809421692928?s=21 … I had no idea this kind of an operation was even an option!

          That’s a KMAX helicopter, designed for heavy lifting, less than 40 in the world, super skinny so operator can see on both sides and has inter meshing syncrocopter blades. Worth a read. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaman_K-MAX …

          Oddly proud that a snippet of a video I took in my bedroom while half asleep made it into local news:http://abc7news.com/traffic/helicopter-delivers-hvac-unit-to-hotel-in-downtown-sf/3404289/ …

          This, by the way, is how a synchropter (intermeshing rotor helicopter) looks up close. No tail rotor required!pic.twitter.com/FN4Cy0I3tR

          Which now reminds me of fascinating gun synchronizers, allowing guns on planes to shoot directly through the propeller: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_gear … (“Among other attempts to get around this was the expedient of firing straight through the propeller arc and hoping for the best.” 0_O)

          Isn't that just standard aircon unit (re)placement ? Unusual to use a K-Max for rescue far as I know.
