Actually there is only one SD-10 left. But it is crushed under a bunch of metal poles. All the sirens except for that one SD-10 have been taken already.

There's one at the Tucson Airport. I think it's the STL-10 siren.

Tucson Int'l Airport has an STH-10 on a steel tower near the airport control tower. Last I heard, it is still tested regularly. Davis-Monthan has several Whelen WPS 4004's and small WPS 2900 (or 2800) omnidirectionals spread out strategically on the base. Most of the sirens can be found near the air strip and in the neighborhoods within the base. Hope this helped a bit with your question.

There is one Thunderbolt 1003 at the Titan Missle Museum in Green Valley just outside of Tucson. It is on the facility of the last complete Titan nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch silo in the United States. It is still on the pole and very functional. If you contact Chuck Penson there he may be able to schedule a time to sound it. Chuck is a very nice guy. I donated some Thunderbolt parts to the museum a while back, and along with a nice delux special tour of the facility, he has sounded the siren for me a few times.
