Over on the NSF thread someone has reported the usual FCC temporary transmission permission has been filed. The specifics imply that they expect to catch the first stage from the JCSAT-16 launch near the same place as other recent GTO launch recoveries.
Most places in the continental USA this launch should be late evening August 13th to very early morning August 14th.
SpaceX is targeting launch of JCSAT-16 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on August 14 with a backup date of August 15. The approximately two hour launch window opens on August 14 at 1:26 am ET, 5:26am UTC.
and for those looking at the flight profile someone has calculated it already!
