The following video of the F9 first stage return was just posted to
YouTube today by SpaceX. The video is abbreviated 1/2 way through I
suppose to skip the boring multi-minute reentry part and finished

Kind of interesting to this observer from the peanut gallery how the
exhaust plume (term?) isn't nearly so neat and tidy on the way down as
it was on the way up.

Which is what one would expect when the exhaust plume is pointed
opposite the direction of the velocity vector.
