Jerry Reed's F-16 Story

[@rwfrench66GenX]

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!

[@matthewbilich9979]

I'd go back in a heartbeat!

[@fanatamon]

It truly is.

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Wow

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I'm with you! Lets go! 😂.

[@chamisi]

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

[@donrutter6550]

You can never get tired of this man

[@Reedology37]

+don rutter Ain't that the truth, man!

[@janetdellinger85]

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 !!

[@tshay27]

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

[@cameronwitmer]

Nashville is rough on the living but she sure speaks well of the dead

[@matthewitt2276]

I saw a small area dedicated to him at the CM Hall of Fame, wasnt big enough.

[@dustinstephenson7914]

Im in Alberta Canada. I love Jerry reed. He is an actor,musician,comedian and a good man. He deserves more recognition everywhere

[@behindtheshades6456]

I wish I could double like your comment!!!

[@lucindamoran8686]

Jerry Reed was such a talented and funny man! He made our lives brighter! What stories he would tell! Hilarious 😂 Thank you!

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

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! 😇🙏. 💕

[@42lookc]

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.

[@Franker420]

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.

[@jajanesaddictions]

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.

[@nancybrighteyeskeisling4214]

Jerry reed was on my bucket list to meet , but it never happend , he's in a much better place now , RIP , you will always be the best

[@bigbengamer]

The Water Boy was his last movie.

[@georgeconstantin1714]

Jerry Reed You’re intelligence and talent was above most . Thanks for sharing . Shake a lil rattle for us all . RIP Rocket Man .

[@andrewsteinfeldt422]

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!!!

[@waynebeaver4096]

Here you go - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJLQmIWjhMSmabs

[@tigerintheboro]

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]

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

[@MuddyBubby]

@@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 KZbin.

[@effsixteenblock50]

So you must be a little skeptical of the "400 kts at take-off" right?

[@KingTrump2024]

The man is a legend! Real talent, real heart!

[@DerbyMom]

Jerry Reed and Jerry Clower - the two greatest storytellers mankind has ever seen. RIP, gentlemen.

[@justinuptonn261]

this guy is a national treasure

[@craigpennington1251]

He brought a lot of joy, laughter, music, and just good times. RIP Mr. Reed.

[@msalis1]

Goodnight, Snowman! Thank you for the songs and the fun.

[@rachelkristine4669]

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! 🥰

[@dawnstone205]

While everyone loved Burt, I loved Jerry.

[@steveperreira5850]

Funny, funny dude, love him!

[@SSJIndy]

Together, they were greater than the sum of their parts, though.

[@billymay2437]

I loved all them

[@MrShadowknight2000]

Loved them both

[@NO-WAR-WINGS]

When your hot your hot, when your not your not...

[@craigpennington1251]

Miss Jerry a whole lot. One of the greats for sure. R.I.P. Mr.Reed.

[@DTittle]

"Hang on for the damnedest elevator ride you ever had!" R.I.P. Reed.

[@TheReubenKincaid]

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.

[@tomneidher]

Tru! For me Jerry Reed was the Real Contry music. And underated guitar player. He was one of the best for sure.

[@dewaynewhite2928]

Jerry Reed was a fun country music artist love his music, awesome man he was!

[@dfire351]

RIP Nashville Network. My grandma loved to watch regularly.

[@guidosarducci3047]

Jerry was great. He should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@ezgo11]

He is

[@glendaclark1440]

I loved him dearly , and he'll for ever be missed. RIP Jerry.

[@Darin-USMCB--]

Had an old uncle, now deceased, always reminded me of Jerry Reed for some reason.

[@as48507]

Such a character!! He always leaves me wanting more, if it’s playing guitar or telling a story..

[@fanomanone]

He could make anything entertaining! Legends Never die; and you're a Legend. Happy Birthday Jer 3-20-20.

[@timrussell1559]

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

[@thnycav]

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

[@MrTirouvin]

Jerry Reed was the best :) I was laughing with tears in my eyes looking at this interview, I wish there were more of them :)

[@that70sguy33]

No one can tell a story like Jerry!!!!

[@joelnix6808]

[@delord1619]

"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.

[@robertallen231]

P/U line?

[@unohoncho7727]

Tune in next week! Ha ha, brilliant delivery!

[@floydpattersonii4996]

What I love about Jerry Reed is his sincerity. When he talks of anything you know you re getting it real and right from the heart. Wish I had a chance to meet him.

[@gordonm7038]

The Mercury guys are amazing. Chuck Yeagar is amazing. I'm in Scotland but I love America. And music!

[@GeekBoy03]

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.

[@lookingforthetruth6189]

[@cowboy6665]

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

[@C.dieslevonankwek7]

He was one of a kind, they broke the mold after him

[@robinmorris5416]

I always felt like Jerry was my kinfolk! I really want to hear the rest of the story!

[@rytvdinners5064]

Jerry's back jamming with his mentor...

[@mecheng5by5]

Jerry had a cool role as a pilot in the movie Bat21.

[@lw216316]

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.

[@markbravo9876]

WHEN YOUR HOT YOUR HOT !

[@keithblythe1276]

I watched that the first time it was on TNT. It’s still funny.

[@dianneshaw4661]

HE COULD TELL THOSE STORIES AS GOOD AS CLOWERS

[@Freight_Train]

I came back a week later. Hmmm. Can't find the second half of his story still.

[@Reedology37]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJLQmIWjhMSmabs

[@Mr.XJ.96]

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.

[@gregb4472]

[@johnmurphy6366]

Rest well Snowman,it must be real entertaining with you,Burt,and the musicians gathered atound!

[@blazerocker1734]

I'm guessing this is from an episode of 'Nashville Now', though I can't find the exact date this aired.

[@d.l.l.6578]

Thank God for Americans like Jerry Reed. We need more of them!

[@rondolan4489]

In the mid 80 i had the chance to meet Jerry reed at the eugene Oregon county fair still got my hat he autographed.

[@charliethegent]

That he didn’t survive long enough to do a podcast is enough to make you hate cigarettes

[@SRP3572]

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.

[@jajanesaddictions]

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.
