Pope Street Thunderbolt 1000T in Louisville, not my video

This is the same Thunderbolt 1000T I heard from 1986 to 1997, while I was attending the Kentucky School for the Blind. The school sits across the street from this Thunderbolt, but it never seemed as loud as it should be from that close. I guess that from the school, it's being blocked by buildings. Notice that it has a C series blower, which is unusual for here in Louisville. I love the sound of this Thunderbolt.

I think you're right about the chopper level. Hopefully, I can get down there this summer, and I may be able to ask someone what the exact chopper level is.

This is only the second Thunderbolt with a C series blower that I've ever heard here in Louisville. Most, if not all of the rest of the Thunderbolts around here that I've heard have B series blowers.
