NASA's WB-57 aircraft is again preparing to fly to South Texas, with a flight plan that has it arriving around 2:30 p.m. ET – a key indicator of when SpaceX is planning today's #Starship SN8 launch attempt:

@flightaware The flight plan for NASA's WB-57 has been moved up by about 20 minutes (from 1:51 p.m. ET to 1:30 p.m. ET).
Again, it's only an indicator, but this suggest a SpaceX Starship SN8 launch attempt at around 2:15 p.m. ET given yesterday's flight time.

Correction: I double-checked yesterday's WB-57 flight and today's 1:30pm ET departure suggests a 3pm ET attempt (i.e., about 90 minutes after departure).
Yesterday: WB-57 departed at 4:11pm ET, arrived above Boca Chica at ~5pm ET, and the launch attempt was at 5:35 pm ET.

FlightAware is showing WB-57 has not yet taken off, 10 min after its scheduled departure time of 1:30pm ET.
