Some KZbin 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.

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

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

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.

[@shawnraintree]

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.

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.

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!!!

[@electricboatal]

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.

[@user-dc3lh2jm1p]

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

[@Kyle1237]

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

[@electricboatal]

@@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.

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

[@warrenmichael918]

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.

[@Original22]

Perhaps it was for nefarious reasons

[@kevinmenard6792]

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

[@warrenmichael918]

@@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.

[@tonyf8066]

It’s crazy to see how far cleet has came and how much the whole company and channel grew so fast . Cleet hasn’t changed one bit , content has always only increased in every way.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

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

[@taypat]

Brother, I am so very, very excited to see the channel's new content and additions. It's going to be such a fun, fun ride!

[@runescapebanker]

I don't wven know what to say. Holy cow Cleeter!! I am so impressed. Love everything about this

[@FishinFool402]

Trusses should be fine unless you notice heavy rust/flaking. Get them primed again. Call Palm Beach Ironworks. We'll come build you a hanger🤙💪

[@mikedelongchamp7104]

George is one of the best additions the channel has ever had

[@TrophyT08]

Can’t wait to see development over the next few years! Until then, our day dreams will be all about Bald Eagle Airfield.

[@robn609]

Bringing sprint jet boat racing to Florida! That lake is perfect for some jet boat action!

[@mornevanderwatt7965]

I bet you it's that.

[@ronbuckner8179]

One word. Alligators!

[@ronbuckner8179]

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.

[@franklast7955]

Im sure Finnegan would make a test rip

[@JayMac]

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.

[@rodneyarmstrong3813]

Train the cows to attack all unauthorized landings. Betsy looked almost ready to go.

[@vladbpootin3122]

I look forward to flying out here (with permission) when I get my pilot license, your channel helped inspire me to continue chasing my dreams and get flying.

Save the trees, use the old trusses for your bridge.enjoy the channel and the content lately has been awesome.

[@nicholasprussia2707]

In know ive said this before already but Cleet im so excited for you in this new endeavor and can see by your face this has been your dream for some time now. Good luck and Hell Yeah Brother 😎

[@MetroDrones]

Very cool man... Wish I was closer, would love to come check it out...

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

You can’t help but to love Cleeter, come on guys, show some respect to the guy and be cool with his stuff.

[@brentwentfishing]

Aviator cows?! 🤣 Those trusses look fine for using on your personal hanger. You could use those trusses to span the ditch over to the lakeside property! I can't wait to what the future hold for the Bald Eagle Airfield!

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

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.

[@chuckschultz7028]

See if you can find an Army surplus deployable mobile bridge. A really cool piece of kit that your viewers will love. May come with a modified M60 tank attached to it!

[@smines3]

You should use those rusty trusses to build the bridge from the lake to the airstrip! Think how cool a miniature truss bridge would be to span that crossing!

[@jeffkrus8046]

I could watch a video EVERYDAY of the year from Cleet

If you want to build a bridge those rusty but still solid steel girders could come in handy... just a thought.

[@sheldongoossen9771]

Not for a bridge for planes tho haha

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

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

Video cameras galore. Enjoy dealing with the FAA.

[@VictoryAviation]

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.

[@grizzlycmmg9578]

@@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.

[@jackpixley3696]

@@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.

[@aaronermis4082]

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

[@VictoryAviation]

@@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.

The fewer right angles on exterior of a house the less the cost. Heavy D’s exterior has a lot of right angles. Put your money into a hurricane tolerant house as opposed to cosmetics. Congratulations on this new property!

[@Bzz637]

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

[@asylumental]

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.

[@bmxscape]

@@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
