I've seen LOX tank pics but not with the bottom center baffle uncovered....
B1051-9 has been secured and OCISLY droneship is en-route to Port Canaveral, following this morning's launch. ETA Tue/Wed (Subject to change)GO Searcher and Navigator are also underway after completing fairing recovery ops.

It either isn't ITAR violating or it was *always* ITAR-violating as "adversaries" have easy access to better radio equipment than amateurs.
People across the Triangle were surprised by an unexpected phenomenon in the skies over NC on Sunday morning.Phone calls, pictures and videos poured in from WRAL viewers, as people sent images of a large parabola of light moving across the skies around 6:10 a.m.Some called it space debris. Others referred to it as a meteor. Still others reported "possible aliens."
It would be interesting to see the difference between two flights of the same booster, perhaps L16 and L21 (both booster 1051).
It's a little hard to read with all the noise in the acceleration values, but here are the B1051 boost phase plots for L3, L16 and L21.
SpaceX recovery fleet status as of March 15th!Expecting lots of arrivals tomorrow. GO Searcher/Navigator are due after 6:30am ET with the fairing.OCISLY and B1051-9 are due after 11am ET (Likely mid-afternoon)Support my work: ko-fi.com/spacexfleet
B1051.9 can be seen on the horizon. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX
A NEW RECORD: 2 boosters (1051-9 & 1058.6), 1 droneship OCISLY, 1 Fairing half, 2 practice Dragon Capsules, 2 fairing ships (Chief & Tree) & Go Quest all together for 1 port shot I got today from above. Its never happened before & maybe never happen again. #SpaceX #NASA @elonmusk
A few more pics from this mornings helicopter ride.
