We shot over to Bald Eagle Airfield today to shoot a tour video and quickly found that the runway took a beating over the weekend. We talked to our normal flyers and found none of them had been flying. Oh well, let the tour go on!

    They gonna be real sad when we hook the snatcheroo 7.3l up to their rudder and drag them off the runway.
  • Some YouTube fans are so weird. Common sense evaded them. Just because you’re a fan that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to anything a content creator shows you on their platform. Like Cleetus said; there’s a time and a place. When you’re invited; that’s the appropriate time for you to show up. Otherwise respect his boundaries and his privacy!

    As a bridge inspector, I can tell you that plenty of counties in Tennessee use the bottom of a train car as a bridge. Counties with little to no budget do it all the time and it will clear a very large distance and have a steel base to drive heavy equipment across.

    what makes Cleetus cool is that he gives “you know who you are” at least a chance to make it right. This man has brought back some relics for yall to enjoy. Give the man the respect he deserves otherwise yall will ruin it for the rest of us who actually love attending these types of things.

    Aye fr fr i think Cleet and Squirrel should seriously build a rally car and do a rally event. Would be gold content to watch them try to work together and navigate the course😂
  • @col6y
    DEFINITELY GET THOSE CAMERAS INSTALLED BROTHER!
  • @kaytronika
    Came to Florida from the UK... Turned up to a Cleetus Event (swap meet), met Cleetus, met George, met Jackstand. They were all happy to pose for pics.. You don't need to sneak in and ruin it for everyone.

    ADS-B Exchange. You can play back to a certain point in a time and watch all the air traffic in the area and see who came and went and get the reg numbers. Pretty easy to do. Just remember it's Zulu time, not local. You can get the information and compare it to when people apply for authorization and then have a talk with them about it. I can't believe pilots dont realize that their aircraft can still be tracked.
  • Keep as many trees as possible!!! Don’t clear them out. They help break wind, and noise. They obviously add a lot of privacy and overall adds character to the property.
  • @clinty51
    This guy is literally showing you where his personal house and family are located, and sharing the process....gosh darn it have some respect, and patience, not many people in this world will actively let others into this space. Just wait for an invitation, it'll be soooo much better.
  • Nice!!! Here in Michigan we used to attend a Fly-In at a private runway. Carl the owner would pick a weekend for the fly-in and pilots from all over came. Carl's Fall event included a pumpkin drop and TP drop. Some pilots would camp out the entire weekend as well. The evening bonfires were also a blast. All at a private runway. So much potential you have Cleetus with your new airport! Congrats!!!

    It is interesting to watch you address all of the problems that owning a property with large improvements (airport, lake, open countryside, etc.). I built an airport’ on a ranch that I managed back in the Seventies. It was 2640’ by 75’ at 3200’ above sea level. It worked well for our aircraft. We had both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Our problem was keeping people from making unauthorized landings and running all around the ranch. Our ranch was very private by design. The owner was quite wealthy and he didn’t want any unauthorized people on his property. My job was to keep them off among many other things. I marked the runway with large X’s making it a closed runway. That mostly stopped people from landing but occasionally someone would and say they didn’t understand what the large X was for. Normal BS. Good luck with your projects. Best Regards from an old man in his seventies.
  • @TexasRigged
    lmao I'm imagining the cows are the ultimate source of plane knowledge, they probably know every model that hits that runway like "yeah Chuck that's another one of them Carbon cubs, wish I could fit in one of them"
  • @larryt9176
    A cool concept... once the Bald eagle air field is completed (or before) find a developer to fully model your airfield for payware on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Then, host online landing comps at your airfield.
  • @bneexotics2120
    So stoked for you Cleet, you are living your dream life with your family and friends. You've busted your ass, taken huge risks and now you're reaping the rewards. Couldn't have happened to a better dude 🙏I hope you are going to keep all the cows out there and enough room for them to roam happily.
  • @myakkafly3506
    Those trusses came from the Wauchula airport. My brother and I moved them there for Marvin about 25 years ago. There were 2 more trusses. Just another project Marvin never got to finish.
  • @Garrett_T.
    I’d leave as many trees as possible, personally. It’s established shade and landscaping you don’t have to worry about in the future
  • @mattprovost9878
    Better do something with that Dew boat.. because I guarantee BoostedBoi Kyle could drag that ass, all around your own lake right now.. 😅🤣🤣
