Two weeks ago TwoPlaneKid posted a great video of the construction work that has started between SR44(Brownwood) and the Turnpike. His efforts inspired me to take a closer look at what's going on in that area, which I did yesterday. Thanks Rich.

I took a drive down the dirt road that is used for construction access in this area on Sunday morning. I don't recommend going there yet in a car or non-4WD truck, it's a bit rough, wet, and muddy. A couple of hundred acres have been cleared already and much more is in progress. Work was continuing even on a Sunday morning, not too unusual in the construction industry, and can be seen in the linked video. There is still a lot of work to go to bring about a MMP to connect the Brownwood area to the southern parts of The Villages under construction.

In this video I did a low level (150 ft.) pass going south and the return trip to Brownwood going north at 400 feet. TwoPlaneKid's video was taken at a higher altitude of 600-700 feet. We both have different airspace restrictions to hopefully avoid incidents, but it also allows for some different vantage points.

I hope you enjoy the video and the music (music selection credits are at the end per multiple requests) and please subscribe, leave feedback, and requests.

Thanks

More videos from yesterday's flying are in the editing process now.
