If anyone here is familiar with the operation:

Wondering if that jet might swap roles from day to day, manned and unmanned. The reason that I ask is that I see the seat still in place. I would think that if there were a likelihood that the jet isn't coming back, that all of the high value and/or non essential items would be stripped. I'm guessing that on a "shoot" day that there is some prep, removing items that can be removed, especially if the item in question would be bad sitting on the bottom of the gulf (like an ACES II rocket, for instance).
Anyone familiar?
