T-135/P-50 alert/attack

Filmed this today in Longview, tx...wish I could have gotten closer, but it was in a big field with a bunch of trees on one side and industrial buildings on the other...so this is the best place I could find to record. Alert starts around 50 seconds, and a train goes by around 1:45 and alert ends at 3:53. Attack starts at 5:52.

Awesome catch. I love P50s. What's with all these sirens stopping on attack? Or are ACA sirens supposed to do that because I know the Hurricanes did

I love the sound of the T-135. Creates a harmonic, actually hypnotic type, tone, but I think it wouldn't be so hynpotic in person, since it's one of the loudest sirens in the world lol. Also, I love the way the T-135's tartup in a tone similar to an Allertor, but then the pitch level continues to increase.

From what I have read, you could technically stand in the horn, it's that big. :)

Those dimensions are actually for the T-135AC/DC. The T-135AC (P-50) in the video is 96" x 96" x 72" @ 1625 lbs.

This website has some good closeup pictures of a T-135AC, just to give you an idea of the size.
