Yep. They actually had two extra planes flying out of formation. One was a Thunderbird "livery" painted one, and the one that took the photo above the capitol was grey. You can see that jet flying in this video below as they flew over the Capitol.

We went up to St. Ed's to watch them flyover, and they came right over us. I need to upload and post my video I did. I also snapped a few photos of the skyline.

Looks like Natiivo is on it's first residential floor now, or at least the last parking level. The Quincy is about to pass Spring as well.

Apparently there's a "Future of Downtown Austin" segment on KVUE this weekend:

Not sure what they'll discuss but may be worth a watch.

Very glad they are putting a spotlight on it especially now. Let's hope some meaningful solutions and visions come out of this.

Nice pics. That's a rare view of 405 Colorado. I hardly ever see that building poking up.

405 has been moving pretty rapidly for about a month now. About 2-3 floors a week
