Still 9, actually. 5108 is running today. 5090 was supposed to but crapped out. FB keeps 20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted April 29, 2019 Share #2084 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Soon to be all done with RTSes with lower flipdot screens by the window. Every RTS in the fleet came that way, with the switch in the 1998 order to the higher display. Then all of the 1997-1998s and most of the 1996s were modified during their service for the high display. This was also true with the Orion V and D60HF orders. Some reason the 49xx 1998s (most, at least) kept their lower displays. Edited April 29, 2019 by MHV9218 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
