Double the booster fun in Port Canaveral. B1061 inbound with B1067 being processed in the background. That's the kind of morning traffic jam we like to see!

… and, a special hello to Falcon 9 boosters 1061 and 1067, (barely) seen here in this heavily-cropped image from above Cape Canaveral this morning.

B1061 getting unloaded at Roberts Road this morning.

Sorry for crappy cellphone pics.

-Brody

Edit: just full disclosure here I am assuming this is 1061 and not 1067 due to timing and port activity and the booster markings appearing to match. If anyone has info to the contrary feel free to mention and I will move it to the appropriate thread.

Probably logical to assume they are now storing or refurbishing at Roberts Road.

Maybe they ran out of room on base.
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!

Boosters have been going to Robert’s Road for the last month after leaving Pier 6.
