I also add the NOTMAR/NOTAM Hazard Area for Sunday's CRS-16 Dragon C112.2 reentry in window between 13:50-14:20 UTC. Estimated splashdown could be approximately 440km southeast of the Port of LA.. a little further now.

NRC Quest has successfully retrieved the Dragon capsule and is making a return to LA. The vehicle will have a number of time-sensitive experiments that need to be handed over to NASA on arrival in LA.
Dragon returned home last night after its five-week stay at the @Space_Station, completing SpaceX’s sixteenth flight to and from the orbiting laboratory. The ISS badge signifies this Dragon’s previous trip to the station in 2017.
Are the hypergolics burned off before landing? Or do they offload before transport to McGregor?
Closer and closer! Now passing Santa Catalina Island.
ARRIVAL! Recovery ship NRC Quest has returned to port with the Dragon vehicle, ~36 hours after splashdown from the International Space Station!
