Just now on Space Coast Live, a Falcon 9 is rolling down the road to one of SpaceX's launch pads. The booster, B1058-15, is one of the life leaders of the fleet and it is set to perform a record 15th flight next week! Watch live: nsf.live/spacecoast
One of @SpaceX’s new Falcon 9 First Stage boosters was seen in rural West TX on its way to Vandenberg SFB, CA, following successful completion of prelaunch-testing at the McGregor, TX facility. (Imagine trying to maneuver this turn 😳😅)
Or maybe the tweet is incorrect and the booster is actually coming from Florida?

Why hello core 1077
The difference between B1067 and other boosters is the Falcon 9 logo & flag.As seen with B1062, the logos have color, but B1067's are black.I'm not sure why this is, but small details like these make all the boosters unique in their own ways!📷: Me for @SuperclusterHQ
Falcon 9 B1078 was seen leaving the @SpaceX McGregor facility Sunday morning following successful completion of its recent test campaign.The rocket will travel across the rural, southern roadways to Kennedy Space Center, FL, where it will launch the Crew-6 mission to the ISS.
Two Falcon Heavy side boosters in F9 clothing as seen on Space Coast Live cams at KSC and Port Canaveral. B1073, lower left cam, heading to SLC-40 for the OneWeb-17 launch next week.B1076, lower right cam, being processed at Port after Starlink 6-1. nsf.live/spacecoast
The barge in the below tweet, loaded with two fairing halves and (presumably) B1063, departed the Port of Long Beach overnight for delivery to Vandenberg.The voyage should take just over a day, can roll directly off the barge to the launch site, avoiding wide loads on the road

When you get stuck behind a flown fairing going to setup rocket remote cameras...how is this my life?
Identity? Falcon Heavy core or Falcon 9 single stick/Falcon Heavy side booster?
Regular Falcon 9 booster.
B1067 going to SLC-40 for this launch:QuoteJust another beautiful day in Florida… Oh look, here comes a Falcon 9 with an upper stage attached. Those bus passengers got a thrill!https://twitter.com/BusKsc/status/1637863376482074624

Damn boosters making me late
Don't know if it's related, but a vacationing coworker while on the bus tour saw a stage leaving LC-39A today....
Caught B1069 driving by the VAB on its way to SLC-40!📷: Me for @SuperclusterHQ
I spy with my little eye... FH-related hardware 👀This is where the aft boosters are connected to the center core so... This is a Falcon Heavy center core! Should probably be B1079 for Echostar 24. Launch is tentatively scheduled for no earlier than August.
Hive of activity at SpaceX's West Coast recovery facility.Falcon 9 (likely B1061) and fairings to be shipped to VSFB. Recovery ship NRC Quest and new ship GO Beyond can be seen.GO Beyond has gained a lifting A-frame and should take over fairing recovery soon from NRC Quest.NRC Quest and GO Quest previously supported fairing recovery and droneship support respectively on the West Coast. GO Quest has already exited the fleet with NRC Quest expected to follow.New ship GO Beyond will take on both roles in a single-ship solution.
