While there is no word from SpaceX on static fire yet, the tweets from 45th Space Wing and KSC Visitor complex confirm the June 15 launch date:

BTW, KSC Visitor Center used the old Eutelsat/ABS patch in their tweet.

Under L-50 minutes. A reminder, updates only (people forgot all the time) until post mission success.

Absolutely feel free to join in with updates, *especially screenshots*. Don't copy and paste from other sites. I'll be using the hosted webcast as they sometimes show cool things.
