Non-tasked Air Force missions, other than winter storm tracks, usually have a 15 digit number for an identifier. (and sometimes 11 digits) Sometimes they might drop a single sonde or two and have a few non-tropical RECCO messages. Training missions, with the identifier "Train", are often conducted by NOAA for training purposes. Long term, this data is likely less important than other data. Missions with an 11 or 15 digit identifier are automatically deleted after 14 days. Training missions are automatically deleted after 14 days.
