Unauthorized Landings At Our New Airport... 

Get em cleet

Why not build your hanger as a fly-in & boat-in hanger with access from both sides?!?!?! And have a helicopter pad of course as well. ❤❤❤❤

Soooo.... hydroplane boat coming soon? Or drag boat?

Yer done!!!😂

Hell yeah you get em cleet

I haven't watched the whole video yet but being subscribed to FlightRadar24 I could get all the tail numbers of who landed there so he could have a chat with them if he wanted to

imagine owning an airplane and still being stupid enough to land on random spots, that you most likely know are illegal to do so and will bother random people who live there and probably make them scared as hell... Florida must have no oversight on anything flying below those 20k feet. Id be scared of people being this stupid and having airplanes, sounds like someone could just slam a plane into any random spot in this state.. which is crazy

Some? That applies to most RU-vidr fans TBH.

@@deekamikaze if anything he should grab these numbers, and go to the FAA/court to send the message on a strong basis. get them all fined so they lose their licence and possibly their plane. Who is this out of touch to bother someone like that, specially people with money to have an airplane themself. you'd think these people know better, and might aswell put all these wierdos on a watchlist. if they land on random spots like this to bother a youtuber. what else would they be willing to do with their airplane

It scares me. I appreciate Cleetus achieving all these goals and wanting to show them to us, but this gives me huge Roman Atwood vibes. There are some weird crazy people out there.

It's also a simple courtesy.

I literally was just coming on here to say the same thing. Well except for the bridge inspector. I welded up a whole bunch of supports underneath a couple of them up in the mountains for taking log trucks across. Just trying to keep them from swaying quite as much for the long distances.

Did that at my work. Used a train flatcar to make a road bridge over a below grade pipeway - perfect

Hell yea iv seen decent sized bulldozers and a 200k lbs crane drive across a old train flat car being used as a bridge

Agreed, my first thought as well.

Can you give the location of train car bridges in Tennessee near Chattanooga?

If only he had a sponsor who does home security.

That seems like an invasion of privacy for the other users of the runway.

It is south Florida.

@@gabetessin5837 He owns it. Haha Wtf?

@@gabetessin5837uhhhh it’s his property 😂

shii that might be a bit dangerous LOL

Yes

​​​​@@Zqudtrue but Cleet is a beast driver. Squirrel direction giving would be the questionable part🤣 also im sure they have tracks that are a little more tame for beginner teams😂 not to mention it's LITERALLY the only racing I haven't seen Cleetus do yet

That would be pretty epic.

That would be sweet

That only works if the plane has ADS-B and it’s turned on…

@@Slindyy​​⁠and it that area they would need to be on since it’s within 30 nautical miles of a Class B airport. It’s one thing landing in a spot where you’re not supposed to and another to turn off something that is required under federal law

They also will help keep the area cool in the summer too! Keep as many trees as you can!

I wish I could like this and @wthea7913's comment 100 times. Especially for any level of crosswinds, it's going to make a huge difference.

Also, they’re just better to look at than flat ground. Don’t chop a single tree that you absolutely don’t have to.

Great grandpa Cleet was a young whipper snapper

He just can’t see the video that started it all till he’s older, can’t give him to big of idea

I hope he backs them all up just incase

Ask Brandon and Dylan Lee about the vids of their parents.

Wild flowers that spell "PRIVATE AIRPORT" along the sides.

I guess some people don't know how to read a sectional... did anyone ever get in big trouble over landing there?

@@Kyle1237 we did have to prosecute on two occasions. The first pilot landed in his Maule with two mini bikes in back. They unloaded them and started running them all over the ranch. The ranch had quite an extensive road system to enhance firefighting efforts. We rarely had fires, but we were prepared. So I watched this guy and his son running up and down the roads leaving gates open and chasing cattle and some of my horses. The other person taxed to our fuel trailer and filled up his Cessna 190 with our fuel. They also took the batteries from my Hughes 500 and pulled a couple of radios. I wasn’t at the ranch when this all took place but my security system paged my beeper to tell me something was up. I was about an hour away so all I could do was check the recordings of their actions. It is really easy to track down someone with their N number easily visible on their airplane. I called the boss and he was at Montgomery field getting into his Twin Bonanza when the Cessna 190 landed at the same field. He was informed by the tower of their location on the field and he quickly met them with San Diego’s finest. They were promptly arrested and their airplane was confiscated. They were convicted with all of our evidence and I really can’t remember what their penalty was. It was almost 50 years ago.

Good for wind breaks too.

And the kids will absolutely love playing in them.

Love the old Florida backwoods vibe they provide. Yea, unless I absolutely NEEDED the space, I'd try and leave as many of those tree there as I could, personally.

For the cows to get some shade to

🇺🇸💯💯

Are you suggesting putting the headrest up higher, above the head, will cause it to act like a rollbar in a rollover?

...then report them SOBs!

Resolution is a lot less important than frame rate, especially when planes are flying by at 60+ knots. Get a 120hz, 4k camera.

@@SubtractZero Simply have Georges stand there everyday with a camera, it's cheaper then good quality cameras.

😂​@@22Epic

Bro George can't be there he's way to important for the channel !

Looks like good metal for making a little bridge out of.

You think those are salvageable having been in the weather that long? (I'm not very knowledgeable on building materials / framework)

Live in Tn now but I came from Wauchula. Small world.

I love that bit of history! Hope Garret sees this, as I think he easily connects with the history of his stuff and would appreciate it as well.

@@Uziqzx Yeh, I in stall alot of steel, the rust is like a protective layer on steel, the older the steel the better quality it will be also. But for making a little bridge for planes to cross, plenty of steel for that for sure. If he takes a grinder to it and ground down a small part i think there ill be shinny quarter inch steel just waiting to be used.

I think my previous comment was deleted because it was taken for solicitation. From my searching through MSFS, I think its being done.

Buy a Waveblaster or 3

@@maccoretti51 POMB = Piss Out My Bottom

or just do that in real life you worm

Great idea!

hes literally just completing side quests now. dude is a legend

The most amazing part is that you only named a few examples. Success indeed!

He made the right decision when he dropped out of law school to become, in his words, ''A full time redneck RU-vidr''

He's a baby Mason. His daddy is a Mason. The ones on youtube blowing up are all part of the brotherhood that has grown into. You start at the lions club at teenager and you're golden

He should write a book on how he got himself to where he’s at. I’m definitely impressed!

Crosswinds are definitely an enemy to small aircraft. When I was in training I almost lost it doing a touch and go because of strong crosswinds

It is even fewer than that. More like .0001%. Can't believe someone with a pilots license did this. Trespassing with an airplane !

@@mrwilson7617 its not illegal to land your plane at a registered airstrip its just considered rude depending on the situation. most registered airstrips welcome pilots and have many amenities from fuel to free loaner cars

@@imchris5000 Thats not what Cleetus said about his airstrip.

@@mrwilson7617 the FAA supersedes what cleetus says

@@imchris5000 It is HIS airfield and he says it's restricted.

Seriously. Whoever was landing there has some screws loose

What happened?

Or be the guy that knocks on Matt’s door at midnight, knowing that he’s got a thousand guns, a lot of property, and a backhoe? Some folks just ain’t too bright.

Lord knows what is wrong with people to think they have the right to invade other space and privacy like they do. These people you see on RU-vid don't want you walking up on them or entering their property without being invited. The general plabic is rude and ignorant.

@@Bill_N_ATX don't do it before they dig there own pit🙊

Flying is a very serious business so I'm sure he adjust his attitude accordingly.

One screw up on camera and his license is gone.

@@CrispyCars his instruction looks super solid though so I'm not worried

You can't do dumb stuff in planes they are federally regulated. U do dumb shit in the air u sill never fly again

@@NitsuJisReal that's not really the point I was making. But, that Garrett is much more than the persona he created for the camera and we get to see some of it in the air.

Or the sound of George's voice 😂

Nebraska boy calls her Bessie and George says Betsy.

The cow was saying where's my sister and Marvin said she was tasty.

She was!@@Turd_Furgeson

I can't imagine a better scenario. Its a dream

Hard work pays off. The freedom factory started with a dream manifested into reality.

@@jeremysales1232 thank god for nerds

@@jeremysales1232 unfortunately not all hard work pays off.

Wonder what ownership percentage Squirrel, James & the rest of the team have in the Freedom Factory? Or are they still wage slaves making Cleetus wealthy?

This comment wins this is amazing I’m literally crying 😂

Yeah, except that if I had to put money on a random person correctly guessing a single engine prop plane model, a cub would be one of the two easiest to guess, along with a Cessna 172. They’re basically the ford fusions of the aviation world.

I think "Chuck" is more of a steer name. ;)

"yeah Chuck that's another one of them Carbon cubs, wish I could fit in one of them" If you want to be a leather seat cover, we can arrange that.

Was thinking the same thing.

3rd this

4th -- easy

I agree

We need enough likes on this comment to catch cleets attention 👍

He's definitely against removing trees unless it's for a good reason

Are you new here? No way Cleet would destory anything without a good reason.

Maybe when you build your house you could put a Moat in with some wild life in it!!! 🎉😮❤😅😂 Or Pond!!!😮

or even relocate/replant new ones out of the way. It just adds so much to the vibe. Hell plant some eagle nest friendly trees. maybe you'll get lucky.

Keep the "Squirrels"and the "Tree huggers" happy --- Go with a 1:1 ratio -- for every tree you need to clear just find another place to plant a new one. No doubt there's plenty of ways to plant new trees between the housing pads proposed to make up for trees removed elsewhere.

Jeremy Clarkson just built a new house for his family and described in UK newspaper how he has seen random people just wander in to take a look at his living room like it's some kind of public space. Another time some guy just sat in the kitchen like it was his, and one time JC's girlfriend Lisa found someone in their house. Some people are just stupid and somehow think they can enter the house because owner is well known...unbelievably idiotic thinking.

Leave it to cyber truck owners to be douche bags…

Im more of a ford raptor kinda guy

@@TheAnnoyingBossyou were there ??????

Well, that's called "evidence", charge 'em with trespass and send a bill for the damage.

I WAS COMING HERE TO SAY THIS! THANK YOU, FRIEND!

In just a few short years !

It really is. Amazing how he took the chance and dropped out of school and now he's building a freaking empire with his team. Just goes to show if you're willing to work hard and believe in yourself you can accomplish anything.

Yeah and he’s a person not a corporation which is the American dream. Your comment is way cool. You know what I mean? Citizens building stuff.

The p51 comment was because they already had one land there and buzz it

@@coyoteden3773 I see a P-51 in his hanger at some point. After all TC has one.. & the coolness factor is just unreal.

I'm thinking the same. Great to see people succeed. Gotta take those chances in life!

Yes! We need a Year of Freedom 🎉

A year of freedom is needed

Fr bro

The kinda energy to trespass onto a private airstrip

Yes. A year of Freedom is so needed

I bet you it's that.

One word. Alligators!

If you have an airport just down the road from the race track, then how can a neighborhood bark about noise? I’m thinking that’s two feet on a tombstone for a lawyer to think about. But un authorized landings equal drug drops for police activities.

Im sure Finnegan would make a test rip

I said the same thing until he showed it up close, it's way too deep and i highly doubt the people building houses on the lake would want it.

Might be able to use them for the bridge too. Plenty of steel there.

I would, too you know Garrett has already let people know there is a time and place for things, and some just don't get it

Im not a pilot but i was thinking the same thing. A pilots license isnt cheap and neither are planes so most pilots should have a little more respect when it comes to these things because of all the time and money they have invested in it. Its a little different when you take a random fan with a clapped out junker hotrod car with a worn out 350 that wants to take his ride and cruise by the FF or even try to drive by Cleeters house, they arent expected to have any dang respect but a pilot doing this, is just goofy.

Perhaps it was for nefarious reasons

That was the biggest shock to me. Out of any community if interacted with I expect the highest standards of respect from anyone at the controls of a airplane. Unbelievable

@@Original22 most likely it was just semi local guys that thought Cleetus wouldnt mind and they maybe didnt realize how fragile grass runways are. Younger pilots i would imagine. I just hope they watch this and realize that it doesnt need to be done again. Some nice clear security cameras to capture tail numbers might get their attention too.

Not for a bridge for planes tho haha

​@@sheldongoossen9771There won't be a single bridge for planes, only vehicles.

That why he say that cuz they are get use the boat in the lake

Agreed, trusses are pretty much indestructible. If they was laying down in the dirt and mud I would say maybe not, but being stored in a upright position likely as strong as the day they was built.

huh? are you telling him to build a circle house?

Lol what are you talking about? Corners are Corners whether they are 45° or 22.5° The process of siding, roofing, framing, and guttering is the same no matter if it's a right angle or not. Cost comes from square footage and material cost and time to complete. Past that comes any structural engineering for things like underground garages and stuff. Corners don't inherently add cost, they potentially add time, with time comes cost.

@@asylumental pretty sure his point wasn't that exactly 45 degree angles cost the most lol... the point is, more angles = more time = more money

Honestly I don’t even think it’s an FAA issue. The FAA controls airspace. The airport surface area is private property. It would be a local municipality issue, and the charge would be trespassing. It’s the same idea as if you landed a helicopter on someone’s property without permission and they filed a complaint. The FAA has nothing to do with that unless the act of landing itself was unsafe for whatever reason. Otherwise no FAA violation has been made.

@@VictoryAviation As cleet mentioned, its a Private Airfield and is restricted per the FAA, you have to have authorization to land. I am no Pilot and certainly by no means a guru in Laws and Regs of Aviation, but from the sounds of it, the FAA would certainly get in touch with people who conduct Unauthorized Landings at a restricted Airfield.

@@VictoryAviationthis is also a registered runway though just not private property landing strip. I have a good feeling if you just randomly landed on a classified runway the FAA can give violations.

@@VictoryAviationif a pilot violates FAA regulations and lands on a controlled runway without authorization he/she can have their FAA pilots license revoked.

@@aaronermis4082 I completely agree. That’s because they clearly broke FAA regulation, as you stated. Which FAA regulation states that landing on a private airport runway without permission is against regulation? Honest question.

Damn I forgot about that entirely

Can’t wait. Love the race car content

I'm honestly not sure what the hell he's even going to be able to do with it. The NHRA is on record, they won't in any way support or allow a multi-seat Fuel car to make a pass because there aren't any specs that exist(SFI chassis specs, when you hear about a "25.2 chassis" or whatever, 25.2 is the SFI spec that that chassis is built to; these specs are for safety obviously) to build one to. That means no BMP because they're an NHRA track and would get in some big crap over it, potentially lose their NHRA membership. They already suspended Larry Dixon for running his 2 seat Fuel car without approval(and he lost the lawsuit too). So, quite the "interesting" gift, a potentially completely useless Top Fuel dragster(and, TBH, I can't even imagine how much the running costs would eat into their income, these things are so expensive to run)

@@RyTrapp0 I don't think it would be tuned to run hard, and wear out parts, but a regional track would allow exhibition runs maybe.

@@tezzrterry7485 The other issue is that Cleet has an NHRA license that he needs to run basically single digit ETs at NHRA tracks(let alone 6s, and now with the goal of 5s). They could pull his license for running the 2 seater *anywhere* - just like they did originally to the Street Outlaws guys for their street racing. Maybe "he could sue over that!!!", but I seriously doubt he would want to spend the kind of money it would take to fight the NHRA(nevermind the fact that, even if you win, you probably aren't going to have the best relationship with them after that). The NHRA sucks and it sucks that they suck. But that is absolutely the kind of things they do.

He done said 6 mins in carbon cub and 3½ mins in supra lol

@@Lifewiththeredmons they gotta throw those lab coats back on and do some science testing to make sure!!

@@platinumtoast yes we need some McFarland science episodes been a minute

Only one involves a pit stop in jail.

I love how we call him '''Ol Cleeter'' He's 29 ! I got t-shirts older than Cleetus.
