Simple answer to why there aren't any recon flights in the WPac: $$$$. There's not enough of it to go around to do regular recon out there - yet alone in the East Pacific. Great distances to some storms from Guam or other U.S. bases makes it somewhat impractical as well. It's one of the things that went out the window about 20-25 years ago along with 6-hrly upper-air launches, among other things.
