Can you imagine having a time machine and going back to the 70's and sipping moonshine out of a mason jar in some barn with Jerry while he plays guitar and tells some stories? That's a reason to invent time travel by itself!
I am an audio engineer and mixed his band once (turn pike authority dinner)it was one of best shows I had the privilege to be a part of, thinking back on it I wished I would have recorded it but they wouldn't let me
There’s no Recognition for Good Ole Jerry Reed, in Nashville ( OF WHICH, HE DEFINITELY DESERVES!!!!! ) and here’s why : Because Nashville has forgotten about REAL COUNTRY MUSIC !! . R I P JERRY, WE MISS YOU !!
I was born and raised in California never been to Nashville but the fact that an absolute legend like Jerry Reed who was Americana personified doesn't have a place of honor in that town shows how phony everything has become
Good grief nobody tells a story like Jerry Reed! Even without a guitar in his incredible hands, that voice, that character, and that delivery just can't be mimicked. RIP, Snowman.
He got thinner as he aged, then died of the very slow, agonizing disease of emphysema, at 71 yrs. that's a long time to smoke those hated cancer sticks. I hate Cancer. RIP, Jerry Reed Hubbard, March 20, 1937 Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.~ September 1, 2008 (aged 71) Nashville, Tennessee, USA He was still smoking in 1971 too. so sad.
Colonel Jenny was the ops cdr of the 388th when I was assigned to that wing in 1985. He was a real hoot just as Jerry said. I bet those two had a wild time on that ride! Wish we could hear the whole story!!!
Colonel Jenny is my father's first cousin....I can remember watching this on an old VHS tape with my late father....I appreciate it much more now that I am older....you are right "Uncle Dave" is a fine man and I know Jerry's description of him fits him well!!
@@tigerintheboro the full story is on Jerry reed's "Flyin High" show, a good 17 minute story in high definition, if you haven't seen it. It's in album form on RUclips.
Jerry to me was an actor, and a personality, didn’t pay any attention to country music. Around the time he passed I discovered his guitar playing and no explaining needed there. I play guitar and he is my benchmark. His music, man. I consider some of his early seventies stuff as Country Funk .Then there’s the Reed personality.
"So, there I was, at 25,000ft, with no airplane and no parachute..." and the girl says, "Then what happened?" And I said, "I died. Now what's your excuse for being in this morgue?" .. .. .. best P/U-line EVER!!! Thank YOU USMC Lt Al Wood, for showing me Truth.
Jerry Reed was exceptional at everything he did, from his musical career to the movies he acted in - he was a joy to watch. The best movie i ever saw was "The Survivors" with Robin Williams and Jerry Reed. He was so good in that movie that Robin Williams couldn't hold a candle to him
In 1989 when I was on the DMZ in Korea Jerry Reed came up to the outpost I was on on Th DMZ. He visited the outpost just before lunch . When the HUMV pulled up to the outpost Jerry got out of it with a beer in his hand. He got the tour of the outpost. He is a real frindly and very wild man. I have the most respect for him.. He did talk about his times in the air force
I absolutely ADORE Dear Jerry Reed! Such a character. I swear he IS Cletus The Snowman. Fantastic talent, taken away from us all too soon at the age of 71. He was the BEST PART of Smokey & The Bandit. Him & Jackie Gleeson. Am 45 & he is my "country music crush", my absolute favorite. Such a neat little guy. Sure would have loved to have gone out with him. What a date that would have been! Love ya Jerry! 🥰

"2 and a half minutes...? That won't even get me to the airport son". My eyeballs went flat has to be one of the most profound and funniest things I have ever heard. "My eyeballs went flat son".. Quality.
I couldn't get my upper lip off my lower lip (so he could scream) LOL I've done 3.5 Gs - I could not move my head to wave at friends either Jerry and it was hard to try and raise my hand. Much respect for these pilots doing 5 Gs and more.
"When they told me I was flying with Bubba, I knew I was in trouble."...... I said "Fine, Bubba!" ... "Bubba put the pedal to the metal."... Jerry Reed is hilarious!!!
Not when he kept talking about it over, and over, and over, even interrupting the host of every show trying to move on from his endless ranting about it.
Break for that SnowMan How bout ya Snowman ya got those ears on? Come on....Whats your 20 Son....Rest in Peace Guitar Man. It would've been awsome to be able to meet Jerry. Good ol Boy man.
I Love It When Jerry Reed Got To Ride In A F 16 Jet. Jerry Reed Said to BubbA Really Loud BUBBA WHATZ THAT NOISE. Then Bubba Said Hay Jerry Whatz That,s Smell.Never mine Bubba Try To Out Run It. Then Bubba Slammed On The Breaks . Then Jerry Reed Said I Hope That Pretty Little LT.Put Some Pepration H In The Serville Kit.

Nah he got more full shape as he gotten older notice when he was young he was very thin and blonde older he got full shape and older Burt Reynolds did and now may they both rock on and keep Trucking in heaven
A great story. The way he tells it makes it funny. That subtle high pitched noise throughout the video was a minor annoyance but so goes the quality of some film.
I was there in Misawa for Jerry Reed, both shows and his flight; story is true, some of the names were changed because they felt it would protect the innocent. 432nd...tip of the spear!
As far as I know, there was never a video of the whole story being told, however this is an audio recording of the entire story: ruclips.net/video/BamgRmO_s3Y/видео.html
Lori Wolf I Love Watching Jerry Reed s On RUclips..Jerry Reed Did A Great Job In the WaterBoy As A Sneaky Weasel Head coach Red Beaulie. For Louisiana College Football . Jerry Reed Was Very Good Actor. RIP Jerry Reed.
Well, he should have held out for a F-22.....or something "not from around here" at Dulce or area 51....that way, he would have arrived two days before he got on board. Missing time would help a tour schedule.......
Or a SR-71: I saw a video recently about the SR-71, in which pilot Maury Rosenberg was talking about taking Gen. Chuck Yeager up in one, out of Okinawa... When they got airborne, Rosenberg let Yeager take the controls, and they climbed up to @ 80,000ft, and hit Mach 3+, and after a few minutes, Yeager tells the pilot "Take the controls, Maury." He asked Yeager if something was wrong, and Yeager said no, but asked again if Rosenberg would take the controls, so he did. A few minutes later, Yeager starts giggling like a child, and says "Boy - you can see everywhere up here!".

Nashville is rough on the living but she sure speaks well of the dead
I saw a small area dedicated to him at the CM Hall of Fame, wasnt big enough.
Im in Alberta Canada. I love Jerry reed. He is an actor,musician,comedian and a good man. He deserves more recognition everywhere
I wish I could double like your comment!!!
Jerry Reed was such a talented and funny man! He made our lives brighter! What stories he would tell! Hilarious 😂 Thank you!
So hard to believe there's a world without this man! Always loved Jerry Reed....whether he was playing music or in a movie! RIP! 😇🙏. 💕
Good grief nobody tells a story like Jerry Reed! Even without a guitar in his incredible hands, that voice, that character, and that delivery just can't be mimicked. RIP, Snowman.
I just found out ol' Jerry Reed passed back in 08. you were and always will be a legend sir, see you on the other side.

Colonel Jenny was the ops cdr of the 388th when I was assigned to that wing in 1985. He was a real hoot just as Jerry said. I bet those two had a wild time on that ride! Wish we could hear the whole story!!!
Here you go - ruclips.net/video/BamgRmO_s3Y/видео.html
Colonel Jenny is my father's first cousin....I can remember watching this on an old VHS tape with my late father....I appreciate it much more now that I am older....you are right "Uncle Dave" is a fine man and I know Jerry's description of him fits him well!!
I also remember as a child every time a jet would fly over our house my dad would tell me that was "Uncle Dave and Jerry Reed"......great memories

So you must be a little skeptical of the "400 kts at take-off" right?
The man is a legend! Real talent, real heart!
While everyone loved Burt, I loved Jerry.
Funny, funny dude, love him!
Together, they were greater than the sum of their parts, though.
I loved all them
Loved them both
When your hot your hot, when your not your not...
Jerry Reed and Jerry Clower - the two greatest storytellers mankind has ever seen.
RIP, gentlemen.
He brought a lot of joy, laughter, music, and just good times. RIP Mr. Reed.
this guy is a national treasure
Miss Jerry a whole lot. One of the greats for sure. R.I.P. Mr.Reed.

I play guitar and he is my benchmark. His music, man. I consider some of his early seventies stuff as Country Funk .Then there’s the Reed personality.
Tru! For me Jerry Reed was the Real Contry music. And underated guitar player. He was one of the best for sure.
He could make anything entertaining! Legends Never die; and you're a Legend. Happy Birthday Jer 3-20-20.
"Hang on for the damnedest elevator ride you ever had!" R.I.P. Reed.
RIP Nashville Network. My grandma loved to watch regularly.
I loved him dearly , and he'll for ever be missed. RIP Jerry.
I Wonder What Amazing Stories Jerry Reed & Jerry Clower Are Telling Around A Campfire In Heaven Right Now??
Such a character!! He always leaves me wanting more, if it’s playing guitar or telling a story..
Jerry Reed was a fun country music artist love his music, awesome man he was!

Had an old uncle, now deceased, always reminded me of Jerry Reed for some reason.
Jerry was great. He should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
He is
Jerry Reed was the best :) I was laughing with tears in my eyes looking at this interview, I wish there were more of them :)

I worked on the ejection system of the F-16. I've never gotten to fly in one, but watching them take off, it's pretty much like he describes... lol
"2 and a half minutes...? That won't even get me to the airport son".
My eyeballs went flat has to be one of the most profound and funniest things I have ever heard.
"My eyeballs went flat son".. Quality.
Oh how I LOVE Jerry Reed❤️
That was one very talented man. You're not going to ever watch Jerry and not smile.
I've watched him and not smiled many times. It's not impossible just a little hard.
What a character and a great singer/song writer!!!
Wow incredible video ..great job nicely done...Thank you so much for your videos and channel
You don't have to thank me but thank you for thanking me. :D :D :D
I couldn't get my upper lip off my lower lip (so he could scream) LOL
I've done 3.5 Gs - I could not move my head to wave at friends either Jerry
and it was hard to try and raise my hand.
Much respect for these pilots doing 5 Gs and more.
I have so much love for Jerry Reed
WHEN YOUR HOT YOUR HOT !

He got thinner as he aged, then died of the very slow, agonizing disease of emphysema, at 71 yrs. that's a long time to smoke those hated cancer sticks. I hate Cancer. RIP, Jerry Reed Hubbard, March 20, 1937 Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.~ September 1, 2008 (aged 71)
Nashville, Tennessee, USA He was still smoking in 1971 too. so sad.
Nah he got more full shape as he gotten older notice when he was young he was very thin and blonde older he got full shape and older Burt Reynolds did and now may they both rock on and keep Trucking in heaven
Jerry's back jamming with his mentor...
I watched that the first time it was on TNT. It’s still funny.
He was one of a kind, they broke the mold after him
Rest well Snowman,it must be real entertaining with you,Burt,and the musicians gathered atound!
Thank God for Americans like Jerry Reed. We need more of them!
I was in the 8th grade when he passed. Me and my buddy got a blunt and a case of beer and played jerry all night. So long son
I would like to hear the rest of that F-16 story, please... Thats one funny man, no doubt!
Funny man and an awesome entertainer.
A great story. The way he tells it makes it funny. That subtle high pitched noise throughout the video was a minor annoyance but so goes the quality of some film.
They shoulda gave him 2.5 hours. He’s one of my hero’s.
Old Amos Moses huntin Alligator down in the swamp with just one hand ain’t got nothing on Jerry Reed with this one!
I was there in Misawa for Jerry Reed, both shows and his flight; story is true, some of the names were changed because they felt it would protect the innocent. 432nd...tip of the spear!
underrated guitarist.
Jerry had a cool role as a pilot in the movie Bat21.
I came back a week later. Hmmm. Can't find the second half of his story still.
As far as I know, there was never a video of the whole story being told, however this is an audio recording of the entire story:

Always loved you, Jerry.
Funny the F-16 is still very much a dominant jet all these years later
one of the best we miss you rip
Aw boo! He never finished it! I miss how unpolished TV was back then...
I hope Jerry earned his wings.
What a great guy.
In the mid 80 i had the chance to meet Jerry reed at the eugene Oregon county fair still got my hat he autographed.
I never realized how much he sounds like Jerry clower.
HE COULD TELL THOSE STORIES AS GOOD AS CLOWERS
God I miss him
Well, he should have held out for a F-22.....or something "not from around here" at Dulce or area 51....that way, he would have arrived two days before he got on board. Missing time would help a tour schedule.......

He asked Yeager if something was wrong, and Yeager said no, but asked again if Rosenberg would take the controls, so he did.
A few minutes later, Yeager starts giggling like a child, and says "Boy - you can see everywhere up here!".
I swear this would be so from duck dynasty in his younger age
I love Jerry Reed!
His F16 monologue is on this page too. FYI.
Anyone else get the high pitch earrape when listening to this without headphones
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft.
