You folks are too quick. Here's a gif I made while you beat me to it:
I wonder if that fairing will be considered too banged up to reuse. It would be awesome to see this fly again. -

Closeups of @SpaceX Falcon 9 in flight! 🕹️🔭🎥. Headphones on for some serious rumble... then watch for an almost perfect bird transit at liftoff🤩 #SpaceX @elonmusk

Looking back through the @spacex 14th starlink webcast footage today of GO Ms. Tree / the fairing that came through the net, last week when B1058 returned I got some aerial photos of Ms. Tree returning from a sea trial with a small hole seen at the back of the net.

Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief are en-route to the Port of Morehead City, North Carolina - arriving in about 8 hours' time.
They will probably need a crane to move and properly secure the fairing. Some repairs may also be in order... -

At least it didn’t even touch the water. -

I have some general questions - using this launch as example.
Below I attached two screenshots - at T +00:00:18 and at T +00:00:30.
It seems that during this time Falcon was making a roll maneuver - is this correct conclusion?
If this is correct, and it was indeed a roll maneuver - how typical for Falcon is a roll right after liftoff?
Like - always, often, sometime, seldom?

Just about every launch has some amount of roll to align the inertial platform with the orbit inclination. You now have the full extent of my knowledge.
HTH, and have a good one,

It's all explained quite well for the novice in this video by the Everyday Astronaut.

This photo is of the fairing being lifted off Ms. Chief.
What's interesting is that the fairing half is flipped upside down - not normal. Also, the net is still raised like it wasn't caught?
SpaceX hasn't released any photos of the catch. Did something happen to Ms. Chief too? -

Thanks to @cyarnell for the photos below! Ms. Chief has some damage. One GPS antenna is completely destroyed.
REMINDER: The clip we saw of the fairing drop was on Ms. Tree.
Something also happened on Ms. Chief that destroyed this antenna and flipped the fairing upside down. -

Both fairings were loaded onto trucks w/ cradles; Ms Chief’s had to be flipped; and Ms Tree’s was on the deck after the awkward catch. All nets down after unloading was completed

Welcome home B1051.6. Welcome home.
One booster arrives as another awaits static fire ahead of tomorrow's expected launch of the 15th Starlink mission.

Starlink 1819 appears to be in trouble. [Starlink 14 = Starlink v1.0 Fl. 13] Kelso's SupTLEs (magenta) derived from SpaceX data stopped on Oct 20; 18SPCS TLEs (green) started for it later the same day and show continued decay. All other sats from the launch (red) are raising orbit.
