Re: recon has had a lot of flights

Right now they are doing daily G-IV flights. Tomorrow afternoon they will start doing one every 12 hours. If you look on their blog page you can see the previous missions they have done:

Or:

They'll probably mix it up some, although they have not done one up to the north since the first one. You would think they would maybe alternate evenly between the ridge and trough, but if there is uncertainty in one over the other, maybe that is where the priority is? Or maybe they investigate whichever is the greatest influence on steering? I'm not sure.
