As a fellow Fort Worthian, and someone who's been eyeing one of the last remaining Thunderbolts since they canned the old system fifteen years ago, I was wondering how you managed to get your hands on these guys? And, is there anyway some joe shmoe like me could fulfill one of their life's aspiratio...

Is the SD-10 still located there? I heard rumors it was removed so I haven't bothered going out there to look, but if that's not the case I may go see it next time I'm in the area.

The first Thunderbolt is in Hatley park in Rollingwood, an Austin neighborhood just west of Mopac right after you cross the Colorado river, at 4821 Rollingwood Drive.

I've managed to find 3 in the city (which to my knowledge are the only 3 left) and they're obviously disconnected, but still fun to check out. One of them had its blower stripped for some reason; mayb...
