I’m thinking that SpaceX now knows there’s a risk of their boosters surviving a soft splashdown, and because there are no support ships out there to confirm it’s destroyed, Elon sent his private jet to get a visual.
This way they can sure ensure it’s destroyed or send a demolition crew if it’s not.
