What a cool dude. Buys a plane and keeps emphasizing that all of his friends can use it to get licensed. Huge respect. Just wants to see his friends succeed.
@Maria CANCER I checked your channel, and you are claiming that your surgery alone is going to cost $190,000, your profile picture is a screenshot of the single video you've ever uploaded. Not saying you're scamming people but it sure seems like it
This man can pilot/drive anything mechanical. I can just imagine how nervous his wife must be all the time. May god be with you at all times. Youre an amazing person!
The fact that he immediately wants everyone on his team to be able to get a license and share his aircraft is admirable. I can't imagine having a boss that wants to do this for his people. Friends or not, Garrett is a class act.
Yes, a great team. Hopefully everyone remembers that it is his channel, and they ultimately work for him. I think he treats them right, and they enjoy coming to work each day. Who wouldn't love to work for Cleetus with how he treats everyone. Working when it is more like hanging out with friends, working on all sorts of projects, having fun.
As a flight instructor, it makes me so happy seeing someone be so passionate about aviation and sharing it with others. Can’t wait to see where this goes!
@@RylaDarkstar I wish nothing but the best for Jeremy, Laz, and the other guys at Fasterproms. George made the videos fun to watch, so when he left, the content got too “Dry” for my liking.
Coming from an aviation family, what Cleetus has accomplished is no small feat. In addition to everything else he's got going on, I'm certain he does not sleep.
George: there’s no way he’d let me fly it home “hey boss can I take the plane home” Cleetus: you guys can literally fly it anywhere just gas in it and be safe. That’s pure love for his boys, what a squad of dudes, can’t wait for sams first flight which needs to be a video in itself, just take him on a big beautiful cruise across their area to see everything, would be a amazing memory for them
Cleetus, you never cease to amaze me. I've been a pilot for nearly 30 years now, and I can say it takes a special kind of person to commit to the lifestyle. You have got to be sharp, serious, always learning, humble, analytical, physically and mentally fit, always thinking ahead, fearless yet respectful. It also takes a financial commitment. There are less than 1% of the population who are licensed pilots. I can see the joy flying brings to you, and the fact that you want to give that joy to your crew speaks volumes as to your character as a man. You really are leading by example. I could not be more impressed. Thank you for making this world a better place.
George is literally the best Hypeman you could ever wish for. His genuine excitement for everyone else's success and joy is amazing. I have a new appreciation for his addition to the team. Give the man a raise!
I love his excitement as well! All around genuine dude if you ask me. Makes a big difference when you have a good employer that treats you as an equal and not just a grunt
The fact you’re offering your plane (also one of the best planes ever) to your crew to use on flying lessons at no expense, just fuel and oil I’m sure. Is a testament to the quality of your character. There’s a reason we will back whatever you do. Awesome Cleet!
Man Garret is the most humble genuine human being out there, he just shares and wants his friends to have the fun as well. Why isn't everybody like that, world would be such a good place..
World isn’t like that because the majority of people are aholes. Its a sad fact but if you surround yourself with good people you to can be that friend example to them.
I’ve bought tons of merch, have watched every video since the turbo whistle days, and I still don’t feel like I’m supporting enough. You’re a good man, Garrett. Not only a man passionate in chasing what he wants, but he also leaves tons of support for anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps. The Cleetus team is the pinnacle of humble wins.
Not going to lie I got worried 3-4 years ago when you were talking about Aviation because it felt like something that was done on a whim without too much thought about it. Seeing now though everything you have done to prepare for this day, not rushing in to anything, and taking all the necessary steps to achieve your goals.... so awesome to see. Proud of you, and excited to see more to come!
It's Florida everyone flies if they can afford to. Grew up in south Florida and you'd see small planes flying around every 30 minutes. I imagine these days the skies are busier
I respect you for taking it seriously and only showing us when you were confident you could do so safely. At every possible turn Cleetus shows how good of a person he truly is. Always lifting the team up and giving honest credit and support to his guys is top notch. I do not know much about airplanes or aviation in general but seeing how excited George was to be flying a plane and seeing Cleet sharing experiences like that with his crew is something that cant be replaced.
The greatest thing about the friendship with Garrett and George is the absolute trust George has in Garrett, zero fear ever... Its a friendship for the times boys!!
Exactly he was afraid of drowning or can't swim but rode along in the jet boat...... got to ride in and fly a plane.... memories that most people dream of and he's living it. Awesome to see it.
Cletus and George's relationship is so genuine. George gets the first ride in everything new that he buys and genuinely shows so much love for cleet. A true bromance
Cleetus is such an animal. Pilot licensing is no joke and he’s managed to pull that off as well as all the other stuff. That’s really impressive. The fact he’s involved with Mike Patey has now made all my RUclips crossover dreams come true!
Flying isn't that bad, especially in ultralight planes. The instrumentation part is the worst of it. Helicopter are the hard ones to learn to fly, and in turn hurt more people.
This channel is seriously something special. This is literally the only channel I have ever followed that I haven't missed a single video since its creation. I seriously enjoy how much Garrett wants to see his boys succeed and enjoy life.
Yup. This is literally the only channel that if I see a new video is uploaded, I will stop what I am doing to watch it because all their videos are awesome. Plus, all the guys on the channel are super cool and super funny, especially George.
This is hands down the best RUclips channel there is. Also George is so lucky that he became part of the team. I feel like his life is so much better doing all these things. Every member of the team is important. Great content every single time. Great job guys.
@@SethBergile Extremely few channels which both builds drag cars and shows one of the mechanics getting licensed for the shop airplane. I think it would be a great series. Keep in mind this would not be every video for two weeks, but rather one video here and there.
im happy for cleeter, but man.. i cant help but be even happier for george. legitimately the happiest, most joyful dude in the group. ""brother im flying a plane!"
@@warrenmichael918 right on, im extremely happy for him. the only thing that compares to being that happy yourself, is seeing someone that has earned it being "that happy". it's like taking a car ride with Snoop Dogg. don't matter if you don't put a doobie to your lips, you're gonna catch that contact high.
In a world where they say you can do anything if you set your mind too, cleeter you my friend are the #1 example. Congratulations on all your continued success and for including your guys in the adventures
Now tell me why in the hell the FAA is classifying rc airplanes the same as drones? Basically putting a knife in the side of rc hobby. The FAA needs to worry about full scale issues these days... not some toy airplanes that cause zero issue with manned aircraft.
I’m a student pilot, very enamored with bush planes. I was at the drag strip in February, saw you practicing STOL stuff. Walked over & met Alan, asked what brand the plane was & if it was ok if I watched for a bit. Had no idea who was flying it, so pretty cool seeing you flying the same approach in this video. Enjoy it man!!!
So awesome to see a plane that’s made right here in my home town literally be all the way across the country!! Good ole Cub Crafters out of central Washington!!
Dude.. the way you lead your crew to push themselves not only for the fleet of full blown race cars from crown vics to mullet to toast and killa bee then everything in between but also hand them the tools to better they’re own life experiences is so amazing. We all need a boss like you. Thank you for bringing us on this journey. 👍🏻
I'm proud of you my man, I'm a CFI right now and it makes me so happy to see someone like you get into it, especially find the niche you're in, so best of luck! Also for starting your multi engine training in a Baron takes some stones brother! And hell training in a PC12 is so cool, so keep trucking and kill it out there!
Having Ty or George make the fly over passes at the freedom factory on event night would be super sick. Throw that short 25 second clip in the beginning of the videos.
All I wanna know is, does Cleet ever sleep!?😂Cranks out almost daily content, works on all his machines, goes to events, puts on events, running a business, being a husband and dad, and still manages to learn how to fly. Must be the AG1😂 Absolute incredible man.
My dad had a cub and we flew all the time. The most fun I had was dropping bowling balls, 2 liter sodas bottles filled with paint, pumpkins and anything else we thought of onto targets that we put out in a field. Flying with the door open is the best. Congrats on the new toy and be safe brother!!
That sounds awesome. Wonder what the laws are for planes, like, we have car laws for streets. Chucking stuff out of a plane for fun? lol I’d do it. Just wondering if that’s frowned upon or not lol. 😊
This is my Favorite Cleet Video yet. The trust all of those guys have in each other is amazing. Cleet is a genuine stand up guy. He REALLY means it when he says he wants his guys to use the plane. Also he is 100% serious in saying George can take it home haha
What a pleasant suprise! With a Carbon cub you take your airport with you wherever you go! I kinda new you would be an aviator. Your lingo flying the RC planes was spot on and very telling! LOL! I Got my license in 1980 when I was 20. Cost me less than $ 950 bucks ! In 1989 I got 4.5 hrs in a 1946 Aeronca Champ 65HP (hand prop only) for my tailwheel endorsement near Seattle then 2 hrs of T&G's in a 2 seat Pitts S2A .So my first Tailwheel solo with a whopping 6.4 hrs of TW time was in my Pitts S1S 180 Hp O-360 (hand prop only). Pilots said I was crazy to solo with so few TW hrs in a Pitts Special , but like you I learn quick and racked up the required 25 hr to get the insurance needed for aerobatic contests. Since then in order, the Pitts Special S1S for competition aerobatics, a Christen Eagle II, Vans RV-3B and an RV-4, a 1946 Piper clipped wing L4/J3 cub fully aerobatic (hand prop only), and my favorite a 1991 Yakovlev Yak-55M with 360 HP geared and supercharged radial engine Vedeneyev M-14P, 3000 ft a minute rate of climb and over 300 degrees per second roll rate. VNE 450 kph / 279 mph .Then full formation checkout with the BlackJack squadron of Arlington Wa. Congrats on your new bird ! I know its only a matter of time before you take an aerobatic course in an Extra 300 or similiar . Sorry for long wind, but ole Cleeter got me Fired Up!
We should all strive to be a bit more like cleet just a solid all round human being I don’t know how anyone couldn’t like this man so much dedication and effort into everything he does along with the respect and loyalty he shows to his employees and friends is so inspirational, idk if you’ll see this Garrett but keep doing you cause it’s amazing to watch
Great to see the excitement of the whole team. How many friends, never-mind bosses, are pushing you to fly their new plane. Love to see the aviation content.
First he made faces while shifting now he's making faces while landing lol man the amouny of love and respect I have for this man is crazy. So proud of cleetus for coming so far
I think its safe to say and that everyone would agree with me... We are ALL so very proud of you Cleet! Look at how far you`ve come throughout the years. Hell Yeah Brother!
Congratulations on getting the cub! I have wanted my pilot’s license as long as I can remember! I’m 72 now, so it’s probably not gonna happen, but I still have that burn in my belly! Here’s hoping you always have clear sky’s and tail winds!
I am so pumped. I have been waiting for real aviation content from you guys. Can we all just stop for a second and comment on what a decent guy Garret is. He genuinely wants these guys to share in his love for aviation. Such a solid human being and has a great giving personality. I can only say I wish I had a friend that said I could fly his plane for only the cost of fuel. I am so excited for what’s to come. Love you guys!!
It’s great to see guys like Garrett start to explore aviation as an outlet. As a professional pilot myself who watches these videos for non-aviation content, it’s really cool to see this channel develop an aviation interest. It brings multiple gworlds together..Two thumbs up.
You're the kind of boss everyone dreams of working as you treat everyone as friends and family. You've been able to create so much loyalty amongst your employees by how you set the example and how well you treat them and include them in all aspects of work and off time. Don't change much and continue to surround yourself with good people and friends. And Garrett, dude, you have so much natural talent. Good luck in future endeavors.
Yeah it was definitely an open secret, but glad he’s showing us some now! Agree aviation should be treated with respect, and 100% agree with him keeping to himself while studying.
@Patrick Burke the for sure.I understand why he was worried. look at so many of these Aviation channels on RUclips, the haters come running. but at the end of the day, if it is a passion of his, then I don't see why he should be scared of showing it. As he has one of the better fanbases I have seen in years
Cleeter and the crew are just living the life, and the fact that cleet encourages everyone to use it to get licensed really show what a awesome friend he is! Can't wait to see where the futures take you guys! Maybe I'll get down to the freedom factory to meet you all eventually!
I was a chef and I had a 100 seat Cafe, when I started I was like Gordon Ramsey, way to strict and a jerk, and the employees were meh, just going through the motions. Then i decided to genuinely treat them like family, love them like brothers and sisters and the place exploded with business, profit for myself and even more for my new family of workers. I made payroll bigger than profit, and in turn they were the hardest working team that I could ever dream of. They would kill for me and I would die for them. Then my plan came together for myself, they were graduating from college, some already did, and the place was so legendary the offer finally came. Sold it for 17x what i had in it. Moral of the story is, believe and love your employees, they are the ones who do the work, and in turn the pot of gold will be there. Peace!
Hell yes. Cannot wait to see you flying more with your flair. And thank God the ripsaw is gone lol That second landing was minty. Time for a mini hangar build!
I need a friend like cleetus guy seems super humbled and down to earth that's awesome side note "not saying I don't have good friends because I do" just saying he's for pushing his friends to achieve greater things and even helping them build a merch line that's dope af
@zzzx xzzz Considering he didn't post anything about him learning because of idiot's, I don't think he's going to post his friends learning so, the same things would happen.😉
@@karlhopkins713 don't worry the crew will get their video time on the channel , besides , using your logic he wouldn't have made a big deal video about flying in the first place ! He's gonna capitalize on every bit of this he can .
@@zzzxxzzz3248 well no shit he’s gonna try to capitalize on something he runs a business he needs to pay the bills too and this is how he makes money are you gonna be pissed at someone for working overtime think about the overtime his friends work that he pays them for I don’t understand your dumbass point but go off I guess
Catch me at the next STOL competition!!! We better get to practicing.... probably need some nitrous too :)
Should do a video on an ultra light. My uncle has one things are cool as hell
Great content as usual! Keep goin CLeeT👊🏻🔥🔥.

This man can pilot/drive anything mechanical. I can just imagine how nervous his wife must be all the time. May god be with you at all times. Youre an amazing person!
He can drive it until there’s a mechanical failure in the air and he’s gotta crash land. Well see
Was really weird, I just had this thought as he drove the Ariel atom around the freedom factor, and then this

The fact that he immediately wants everyone on his team to be able to get a license and share his aircraft is admirable. I can't imagine having a boss that wants to do this for his people. Friends or not, Garrett is a class act.
Yes, a great team. Hopefully everyone remembers that it is his channel, and they ultimately work for him. I think he treats them right, and they enjoy coming to work each day. Who wouldn't love to work for Cleetus with how he treats everyone. Working when it is more like hanging out with friends, working on all sorts of projects, having fun.
to cleet there family and family sticks together🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒
The amount of time it took George to realize it's a real plane was awesome.
Then he said we can put some tbm brakes on there....awesome
Cleetus actually letting him fly it a little was awesome. He's always down for shenanigans
it would totally be Cleetus thing to actually RC a full size plane ahah
Cleet tying the plane up in his backyard is such a cleet thing to do lol
Took? LOL I think George is still questioning if its real!! haha
I love how Cleet telling the guys they can use it, wasn’t just a throw away comment. He said it over and over. Such a generous guy
for real
Sounds like the Freedom Factory will have a fly-over for every event now!
As a flight instructor, it makes me so happy seeing someone be so passionate about aviation and sharing it with others. Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Hopefully heli content

Plenty of aviation channels out there with that content. Not too many channels with hand built 200+ drag cars. Just my opinion 😁
Could be a second channel video for sure. He could use some more content for that channel
@@SethBergile Extremely few channels which both builds drag cars and shows one of the mechanics getting licensed for the shop airplane. I think it would be a great series.
Keep in mind this would not be every video for two weeks, but rather one video here and there.
I was one of his first 100 subscribers and it is amazing to me to see how far he has come. Living my dream.
Watching George an cleet fly around was so wholesome an had me smiling the whole time so glad you guys share these experiences with us all 🙏🏼
They seem to have become brothers
im happy for cleeter, but man.. i cant help but be even happier for george. legitimately the happiest, most joyful dude in the group. ""brother im flying a plane!"
George is ALWAYS happier than a Make A Wish kid being told he is gonna pull through!!
@@warrenmichael918 right on, im extremely happy for him. the only thing that compares to being that happy yourself, is seeing someone that has earned it being "that happy".
it's like taking a car ride with Snoop Dogg. don't matter if you don't put a doobie to your lips, you're gonna catch that contact high.
as a massive av geek huge respect for going threw all the training to become a pilot while also doing all the other crazy stuff you do on the channel
In a world where they say you can do anything if you set your mind too, cleeter you my friend are the #1 example. Congratulations on all your continued success and for including your guys in the adventures
With 32 years of FAA ATC all I can say is I'm proud of you. Don't be afraid of ATC. They are there to help. Good job. Let's go!
2nd.
ATC aren't the ones to worry about, it's snobs watching videos reporting people trying to get their license revoked you have to watch out for.
Now tell me why in the hell the FAA is classifying rc airplanes the same as drones? Basically putting a knife in the side of rc hobby. The FAA needs to worry about full scale issues these days... not some toy airplanes that cause zero issue with manned aircraft.
@@Jmandude5 Follow the FARS and no worries.
@@daysdesignsthe UK is just a bull sh1t. Ruined the hobby. Sub 250g # boring.
Hope those boys understand what cleetus just offered them. True appreciation of them boys.
More than splitting the cost with them!
Basically a career path for all of them if the channel were to ever stop providing one day
Garret is hands down the friend we all wish we had
Hell, he’s the person I wish I was 😆
100%
Hell I wish I had one friend
That pool party at the freedom factory last year looked like so much fun!
Hell ya brother
I’m a student pilot, very enamored with bush planes. I was at the drag strip in February, saw you practicing STOL stuff. Walked over & met Alan, asked what brand the plane was & if it was ok if I watched for a bit. Had no idea who was flying it, so pretty cool seeing you flying the same approach in this video. Enjoy it man!!!
To have a Boss/Friend like that would be amazing. I'm glad these guys get to have the experience of knowing someone like that.
I don't know why I had a stupid ass smile on my face this whole video lol this is great, these guys literally have the best job.
Imagine how much time gorge could save commuting back and fourth if he got his license !
So awesome to see a plane that’s made right here in my home town literally be all the way across the country!! Good ole Cub Crafters out of central Washington!!
what a guy. The fact that cleet only wants to bring his friends to the top with him and share in that success is so cool.
Dude.. the way you lead your crew to push themselves not only for the fleet of full blown race cars from crown vics to mullet to toast and killa bee then everything in between but also hand them the tools to better they’re own life experiences is so amazing. We all need a boss like you. Thank you for bringing us on this journey. 👍🏻
Love how Cleeter is instantly like “you guys can get your pilots licenses and use this to for it” and then proceeds to let them fly. What a guy!
I'm proud of you my man, I'm a CFI right now and it makes me so happy to see someone like you get into it, especially find the niche you're in, so best of luck! Also for starting your multi engine training in a Baron takes some stones brother! And hell training in a PC12 is so cool, so keep trucking and kill it out there!
Man, seeing eveyone happy is such a treat to watch. I'm so glad George ended up with y'all.
Having Ty or George make the fly over passes at the freedom factory on event night would be super sick. Throw that short 25 second clip in the beginning of the videos.
He could probably even take off or land on the track🤣
they landed a modified one on a heli pad so they could probably make it on the burnout pad
All I wanna know is, does Cleet ever sleep!?😂Cranks out almost daily content, works on all his machines, goes to events, puts on events, running a business, being a husband and dad, and still manages to learn how to fly. Must be the AG1😂 Absolute incredible man.
Lol this comment should be in one of the AG ads😂
Man, I actually bought some to try cause my wife got on this health kick and it’s actually makes a difference. Tastes terrible though lol
@@timpixberg552 Same!
Yo how for real
This comment is underrated 😂😂
Huge smile on my face the entire video. You guys are having the times youll look back on
Man. Even I was smiling the whole video.
These guys are LIVING.
My dad had a cub and we flew all the time. The most fun I had was dropping bowling balls, 2 liter sodas bottles filled with paint, pumpkins and anything else we thought of onto targets that we put out in a field. Flying with the door open is the best. Congrats on the new toy and be safe brother!!
That sounds awesome.
Wonder what the laws are for planes, like, we have car laws for streets. Chucking stuff out of a plane for fun? lol I’d do it. Just wondering if that’s frowned upon or not lol. 😊
This is my Favorite Cleet Video yet. The trust all of those guys have in each other is amazing. Cleet is a genuine stand up guy. He REALLY means it when he says he wants his guys to use the plane. Also he is 100% serious in saying George can take it home haha
What a pleasant suprise! With a Carbon cub you take your airport with you wherever you go! I kinda new you would be an aviator. Your lingo flying the RC planes was spot on and very telling! LOL! I Got my license in 1980 when I was 20. Cost me less than $ 950 bucks ! In 1989 I got 4.5 hrs in a 1946 Aeronca Champ 65HP (hand prop only) for my tailwheel endorsement near Seattle then 2 hrs of T&G's in a 2 seat Pitts S2A .So my first Tailwheel solo with a whopping 6.4 hrs of TW time was in my Pitts S1S 180 Hp O-360 (hand prop only). Pilots said I was crazy to solo with so few TW hrs in a Pitts Special , but like you I learn quick and racked up the required 25 hr to get the insurance needed for aerobatic contests. Since then in order, the Pitts Special S1S for competition aerobatics, a Christen Eagle II, Vans RV-3B and an RV-4, a 1946 Piper clipped wing L4/J3 cub fully aerobatic (hand prop only), and my favorite a 1991 Yakovlev Yak-55M with 360 HP geared and supercharged radial engine Vedeneyev M-14P, 3000 ft a minute rate of climb and over 300 degrees per second roll rate. VNE 450 kph / 279 mph .Then full formation checkout with the BlackJack squadron of Arlington Wa. Congrats on your new bird ! I know its only a matter of time before you take an aerobatic course in an Extra 300 or similiar . Sorry for long wind, but ole Cleeter got me Fired Up!
We should all strive to be a bit more like cleet just a solid all round human being I don’t know how anyone couldn’t like this man so much dedication and effort into everything he does along with the respect and loyalty he shows to his employees and friends is so inspirational, idk if you’ll see this Garrett but keep doing you cause it’s amazing to watch
Hell yeah brother
X2 brutha,, X2 Garrett Mitchell aka Cleetus McFarland is setting the pace for all we humankind to follow. Be kind and treat everyone with respect.
Great to see the excitement of the whole team. How many friends, never-mind bosses, are pushing you to fly their new plane. Love to see the aviation content.
This has to be the best channel on youtube. Cleeter just holding down all his friends too. Dang. Love it.
facts
First he made faces while shifting now he's making faces while landing lol man the amouny of love and respect I have for this man is crazy. So proud of cleetus for coming so far
I think its safe to say and that everyone would agree with me... We are ALL so very proud of you Cleet! Look at how far you`ve come throughout the years. Hell Yeah Brother!
look at George, so happy for everyone all the time
George the hype man! Every single time! Such a fine crew Cleeter got!
I swear you're the only channel that I watch that truly makes the smile from ear to ear constantly. So happy for cleater
Congratulations on getting the cub! I have wanted my pilot’s license as long as I can remember! I’m 72 now, so it’s probably not gonna happen, but I still have that burn in my belly! Here’s hoping you always have clear sky’s and tail winds!
I am so pumped. I have been waiting for real aviation content from you guys. Can we all just stop for a second and comment on what a decent guy Garret is. He genuinely wants these guys to share in his love for aviation. Such a solid human being and has a great giving personality. I can only say I wish I had a friend that said I could fly his plane for only the cost of fuel. I am so excited for what’s to come. Love you guys!!
How much is fuel? Is it aviation fuel or would that engine run on pump fuel?
@@JoeCanon17 Piston engine planes like this one use avgas/aviation gas. It's basically just 100 octane gasoline.
It’s great to see guys like Garrett start to explore aviation as an outlet. As a professional pilot myself who watches these videos for non-aviation content, it’s really cool to see this channel develop an aviation interest. It brings multiple gworlds together..Two thumbs up.
He's Cleetus McFarland to me damn it!
You're the kind of boss everyone dreams of working as you treat everyone as friends and family. You've been able to create so much loyalty amongst your employees by how you set the example and how well you treat them and include them in all aspects of work and off time. Don't change much and continue to surround yourself with good people and friends. And Garrett, dude, you have so much natural talent. Good luck in future endeavors.
I think James would be an amazing pilot. He has that super calm demeanor coupled with alot of technical knowledge. Get after it jackstand!!
He'd be the first to blow a motor midair by pumping it full of nos
I love the fact that you've now decided to take us on your Aviation Journey. I would definitely say it was an Open Secret.
Yeah it was definitely an open secret, but glad he’s showing us some now! Agree aviation should be treated with respect, and 100% agree with him keeping to himself while studying.
@Patrick Burke the for sure.I understand why he was worried. look at so many of these Aviation channels on RUclips, the haters come running. but at the end of the day, if it is a passion of his, then I don't see why he should be scared of showing it. As he has one of the better fanbases I have seen in years
Cleet’s landing face is almost as epic as his shifting face
Yeah he definitely gets serious when he's landing. I like how he lets out a laugh once he realizes he's stuck the landing.
Glad to have you on board as a proponent of aviation brother! Welcome the club. See you at Sun n Fun hopefully
Cletus is seriously awesome. How many bosses offer you the opportunity to learn to fly on the cheap and borrow their plane? Top notch fellow
Cleeter and the crew are just living the life, and the fact that cleet encourages everyone to use it to get licensed really show what a awesome friend he is! Can't wait to see where the futures take you guys! Maybe I'll get down to the freedom factory to meet you all eventually!
I love how Garrett shares his success with his employees
I was a chef and I had a 100 seat Cafe, when I started I was like Gordon Ramsey, way to strict and a jerk, and the employees were meh, just going through the motions.
Then i decided to genuinely treat them like family, love them like brothers and sisters and the place exploded with business, profit for myself and even more for my new family of workers. I made payroll bigger than profit, and in turn they were the hardest working team that I could ever dream of. They would kill for me and I would die for them.
Then my plan came together for myself, they were graduating from college, some already did, and the place was so legendary the offer finally came. Sold it for 17x what i had in it.
Moral of the story is, believe and love your employees, they are the ones who do the work, and in turn the pot of gold will be there.
Peace!
Hell yes. Cannot wait to see you flying more with your flair. And thank God the ripsaw is gone lol
That second landing was minty.
Time for a mini hangar build!
I need a friend like cleetus guy seems super humbled and down to earth that's awesome side note "not saying I don't have good friends because I do" just saying he's for pushing his friends to achieve greater things and even helping them build a merch line that's dope af
Knew this was coming sooner or later, congratulations Cleet!!
It’s so cool seeing cleetus want his friends to succeed and use the play to get their license and stuff it’s just awesome
He makes money from the videos in case you forgot !
@zzzx xzzz Considering he didn't post anything about him learning because of idiot's, I don't think he's going to post his friends learning so, the same things would happen.😉
@@karlhopkins713 don't worry the crew will get their video time on the channel , besides , using your logic he wouldn't have made a big deal video about flying in the first place ! He's gonna capitalize on every bit of this he can .
@@zzzxxzzz3248 well no shit he’s gonna try to capitalize on something he runs a business he needs to pay the bills too and this is how he makes money are you gonna be pissed at someone for working overtime think about the overtime his friends work that he pays them for I don’t understand your dumbass point but go off I guess
This warms my heart guys. "We can all be pilots"
Cleeter you left me speechless. How much positive energy you put into your guys that support you is amazing! Greatest boss in FL!
