Kansas Wing Surveys Damage, Calls In Emergency Requests
In the wake of tornadoes that tore apart one Kansas town May 4,
and touched down in dozens of other parts of the state, the Kansas
Wing of the Civil Air Patrol flew damage assessment missions using
CAP's advanced satellite-transmitted digital imaging system
technology, launched aircraft to search for distressed motorists
and residents and supported communication needs across several
counties, volunteering more than 300 hours to the disaster relief
effort.
