Also I got extra question here but are there still any Modulator's in Duncanville and don't have have new 508's now? And do they test in attack?

As far as I know they still have mod's. Haven't heard of any 508's going up down there.

I was checking satelite view of the siren locations and this one looks like there's a 508 there.

Grand Prairie replaced their P-50s with T-135 DCs. As far as I know the whole system is now all T-128 and T-135 territory. On an interesting note instead of going the usual AC/DC route, they went with DC and solar panels. They are the only T-135DCs that I know of with solar charging.

Lucky for me I was on some American MD-80's (ORD-RDU and back) and I flew out on the same day as when those 20 frames retired. I flew an ex-TWA MD-83 on the way out and luckily I was on an MD-82 with the blue cockpit on the way back

The ex TWA ones, while newer, tend to be much more ghetto than the LAA frames.
