It was so long ago but it was an annual Antique Car show they had every year back then. I'm thinking it was maybe at the Midland Fair Grounds. If my memory is correct I believe there was an Airport close by. It was 15 or 20 years ago.
Yes there is an RM-130 over at the airport, which is across from the Fairgrounds.

Yeah the RM-130s are very effective sirens and have an amazing ambiance sound. It's weird hearing them and the few T-128s going off simultaneously, a unique sound of hi and low tones is created.
