Actually, all recon planes take MINOBS during the entire flight. These observations give a great idea of where the plane is since each bulletin is sent every ten minutes and contains observations every 30 seconds.

In raw format, check out http://asp1.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/sta ... RNT40.KWBC for NOAA planes and http://asp1.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/sta ... XXX50.KNHC for AF planes.

Another point about the MINOBS... they come in a lot quicker than standard RECCOs and VORTEX messages. Therefore, you can get an idea of the storm quicker and you can see what the flight level winds are as they're flying. Typically when I'm following a recon mission, I'll plot the winds and coordinates on a satellite image that I've printed off. That helps a great deal on understanding the storm.
