Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000

Another great Thunderbolt. This one on East High school property in Wichita KS. There are still 62 of these tbolts left in Sedgwick county. See my other videos for one of these bad boys in attack mode.

@MrWestisthebest The alternating high-low pattern like that is used to signal an "All clear" in case you didn't know. Definitely my favorite part as well, living here in the Midwest.

@crzy4MAC12 Ok

@97Siren I wouldn't be too sure about that. I believe that the early Thunderbolts had the "Tic-Tac bar", or the bars on the projector. Then, Federal Signal changed it to the screen on the projector. I'm not saying this couldn't be a 1952 Thunderbolt, but it could be a later Thunderbolt as well (1960's-1990).

the best part of this video is the sound... I really like the fact that you can tell when the horn is toward the camera..gets louder. I've watched several others and there isn't this much deviation in volume. Great job!
