B'lieve I recognize that one, but I'll let someone else take a crack at it.

Looks like McConnel AFB to me. I think the Andover KS tor went by there first. Can't think of the date right now.

I have to say Andover, Kansas too. Not too many tornados marched right down the flightline like that, those could be B-1's and the brick construction is similar to other video I have seen.
Of course that funnel is pure Andover as it went through the airforce base, before it went maxi.

No, not that one — but right decade, and right F-scale rating.

I'll take a guess at the first one and say Orienta, Kansas.

Also, dagnab it, I've seen that third photo before, complete with all the flow arrows--I just can't remember where. Is it by any chance the 1987 Edmonton, Alberta tornado? Damage rating F4?

Top image already noted, Orienta, from the NOAA photo archive. The second image is from Sweetwater, OK 16 May 1977. A nicer pic of this is at:

The last image in the set is the Union City, OK tornado - 24 May, 1973.

Wow! Can't believe I got it!
Actually, it was a highly educated guess. Not many tornadoes in recent history have hit or passed close to an Air Force Base. I remember reading that the Andover tor passed by or through McConnell AFB. I'm aware of McConnell because I was born in Wichita and still have relatives there. I think about them whenever I learn of a tor passing close to where they live.
I'll defer on posting for now.
