"NOAA WILL BEGIN FLYING 5 RESEARCH MISSIONS IN A ROW ON HURRICANE BILL AT 18/0800Z WITH THE P-3 AND G-IV. TAKEOFFS WILL BE EVERY 12 HOURS."

And then official tasked recon starts:

"A FIX AT 19/1800Z AND 20/0600Z ON HURRICANE BILL."

It will be nice to have jet data every 12 hours. Departs in less than five hours. Although, being a research mission, I'm not sure how much sampling they will do way out in the Atlantic. They are doing this mission with the P3, so the jet might not go off way away from the storm to drop sondes.
