More aerial shots of TV south from the Cub
 
Hope these pictures of the area way down south in the new areas of the Villages give you a different prospective than video taken by drones. I do enjoy both kinds of angles/shots. Even if I could be miniaturized to fly inside a drone, I’ll stick with flying in the 1946 Cub. :icon_wink:

Love the photos! Thanks for offering another view!

Nice shots! I was an aerial photographer for about 10 years, would love to get back up there. Keep up the good work!

See what has changed in 50 days since my last flight in the Cub taking pictures of TV.

Well done. These do offer a different perspective on the ongoing work. Thank you for all your work in getting this out to us.

KSSunshine 03-25-2019 07:25 AM

The progress is amazing! Love seeing Linden being filled in with homes, too! Thanks for sharing!

As I was flying to an early morning breakfast at Loves landing on Saturday, I decided to do some snooping around TV. The following pictures were taken as a result of my meanderings. Hope these aerial pictures give you a different prospective on things as they were taken from a little higher altitude than the great drone pictures posted by Don.

Thanks! Those are excellent. I am especially interested in the area between Brownwood and the Turnpike. We are probably 2 years until they really get on that side of the Turnpike, I hope more like 3. Looks like LOTS of preserve and water views...

Fascinating, thanks for sharing. Very helpful to me since I just purchased a lot in Monarch Grove. It'd going to be very beautiful area when done.

The scale and organization of the site prep work is staggering, approaching what I've seen in the middle east and China. Very impressive ground remediation.

The large piles of dirt are called surcharging a site. To compact the soil, they add a significant load on top of the existing soils using the weight of the additional soils they bring in to compress the existing soils below. It only works for specific soils. They install monitors to determine the compaction they achieve of the existing soils. It is not used a lot, I think I have seen it on sites a couple of times over the 30 years have been interested in that type of thing. In this day and age, where time is money, most developers are not willing to spend the time waiting as it is a fairly slow process. Don't know if it also helps in the areas geological testing showed susceptible to sink holes.

Great photos. Amazing how quickly the Villages builds now. Things change weekly. They'll be down to CenterHill before we know it, yet we are still not and probably never will be a real town.

BeemerBoy 06-17-2019 08:12 AM

Nice photos!!! Loved looking at them. The Villages growth is simply amazing. And as a pilot myself from WI, a nice touch to get the strut or leading edge of the wing in some of the shots! The only thing better would be a photo of you (pilot) at the controls. :icon_wink: Next flight up maybe?

Awesome, Thanks

I think this method is probably way cheaper than Lime, Gravel, or concrete slurry. I have never seen this either, but can't imagine it is easy to get enough compaction with this sand and all the rain!
