English: A gate at Tinker AFB. Ok., sustained damage following a series of destructive tornadoes which slammed Oklahoma and Kansas on May 3, 1999. At Tinker, Reservists from Air Force Reserve Command's 507th Air Refueling Wing and 513th Air Control Group along with their active-duty counterparts joined search-and-rescue teams to search through rubble immediately after the storm past. Medical technicians reported to the base hospital, gym and 507th ARW hangar to provide care for those injured. At the 507th ARW hangar, one of three set up on the base, a makeshift processing line was formed to register people's names so others could know their loved ones were still alive. Members of the 507th and the 513th hurriedly put together a makeshift hotel for hundredsof people left with literally nothing more than the clothes on their backs. Immediately after the storm had passed, 507th ARW members took a unit KC-135 out of its hangar to make room for survivors. Dozens of trucks rolled up to the hangar doors bringing with them the basics of survival. In the hangar, volunteers began to set up food lines and more than 300 cots.Air Force Reserve Major Monty Goodman, chief of services for the 507th Air Refueling Wing, at Tinker AFB, Ok., checks on two-year-old tornado survivor Victoria Vanhoorebeke, on May 4, 1999.
