Welcome to the world of Helicopters!!! I would've posted more helicopter content sooner, but when I got into flying them 3 or so years ago I realized there's no room for distractions. I've been flying A TON before and after work so I can show you guys this stuff as safely as possible. More to come but only in the right conditions. Hope you guys enjoy!

AG1 tastes like dog shit. No word of a lie. There are bottles of liquified vegetables that are loaded with extra vitamins that you can buy at your supermarket that at least have a teeny tiny bit of sugar, so it's not like you're sucking on a dung-coated piece of rotten moss from a dead stump.

I'm a former Blackhawk pilot and you're getting better training than I had in the Army. I'm jealous of your experiences. This brings back memories of being absolutely exhausted after each training flight. It uses every muscle in your body to maintain focus and control. When he took over and told you to take a rest, I knew that feeling all too well. You're doing great

Just the idea that he wasn’t immediately blasting all the aviation stuff all over KZread the second he got a helicopter, speaks a lot to his humility imo. The content he’s been making with the planes and such has been a lot of fun to watch because of that attitude. Seems like a really good example of how you can be confident and successful without being arrogant and turning off the rest of us by doing things most of us can’t afford to do. Classy as hell.

Let's take a moment to look back. Not long ago ol' Cleeter was putting whistles in his exhaust. Not long after that he was racing cars he knew nothing about. Honestly, the reason I became a fan and told everyone I know to subscribe was because Cleetus knew nothing about cars. Now think about *everything* he has learned. Amazing amounts of knowledge on a very diversified set of subjects. I have *always* been impressed with his marketing and business skills while watching him learn and mature. Now lets give him credit for his amazing ability to drive anything. I was truly blown away that anyone could become competitive jet boat racing on their first try. In summary, I think Garrett diserves everything he has worked so hard for, and I am honored to be a OG Cleetus subscriber! Oh, the entire crew, family, friends and his support team ... All #1.

Hello Cleetus, what a great video. I worked heliportable seismic for almost 20 years. We were using heliportable drills and I worked all over the world. 2,000 lb picks and elevations up to 9,000 feet. I was on the ground as a crew coordinator and I spotte the pieces as they came in. The pilots I worked with were for the most part old veitnam vets. What they could do with their helicopter was nothing short of a miracle. We flew 205's, 212's and 214's, some lamas and jet rangers. The 500 was the little one. Flew those in some awesome places. Did checkrides with kiwi pilots in Papau New Guinea up to 10,000 feet in a 206 and then death spiral to 1,000 feet. (Thats what they called it) I had an awesome life for a long time. Thanks for the memory back to those days.

I was born in New Zealand and saw the old WWII warbird airshows where they'd use a Hughes 500D and pretend theyd picked up someones caravan saying it was blocking a gate, theyd fly infront of the crowd and drop it from 150ft and crowd watch it shatter into a pile on the ground. I was fully expecting this old airshow trick to spell the end of the Jetboat, so I was actually more impressed they didnt pull that old stunt and actually did put it back on the trailer.... Again, massive respect to Garretts abilities and even bigger respect to the team teaching you. ( I actually loved the lesson on stopping the pendulum - handy to know if you start to get into trouble near powerlines etc.)

Still a 500 series, same with me, Just the latest and greatest

The picture at the end of cleet with the turbos 😂😂😂 and George and jackstand are his biggest fans! Like family ❤

One of my favorite Parts is listening to George and how he is honestly and legitly excited for Cletus CM accomplish new things the same goes for Cletus and his guys when he's honestly happy to see them accomplished new things accomplish new things

The respect that you show all of your guests/visitors is freaking awesome... You're a class act Cleetus.. 🇺🇲👍

Now imagine the dudes flying giant saws underneath going by power lines cutting trees,or attatching to the power lines and what a great teacher that guy was so calm and collected

This is awesome seeing Cleetus getting into aviation and crushing it! He's got all the hand eye coordination needed for the job. He's basically used to thinking fast under pressure from drag racing as well! His well deserved successful KZread career couldn't have happened to a better person!

🔥🔥 Cleetus is a friggin legend. 🔥🔥

Thanks Cleet for this vid. As a retired military rotary wing guy, this was a blast to watch.

Loving the daily uploads cleeter, you need to have 2 months of freedom, every time you upload it brightens my day

AWESOME VIDEO!!!👍🏻👍🏻 I worked with a helicopter crew doing crop dusting for a couple of months here in Mississippi. The pilot was a dude from Florida and his skills at flying the little Robinson helicopter were breathtaking!! From flying 15 ft off the ground at 80-100 mph while dodging trees and power lines to landing on top of a truck on a 10’x14’ platform made me have much respect for all helicopter pilots! Great job Cletus!!

You show great commitment to this new challenge! You did a great job and the instructor is just amazing. So professional, calm and a the same time with a great sense of humor!

39:54 Angel about broke his damn neck looking up at that giraffe!

My Private Pilot -Rotorcraft-Helicopter was my first rating!. Mostly in Hughes 300C's But I do have a bit of turbine time in Jet Ranger III's and Long Rangers and my most treasured hour of flight time was in a Hughes 500 with a Vietnam vet OH6 pilot. We did full auto's all the way to the ground like he could do it in his sleep. He was shot down twice while flying LOACH missions in Viet Nam and wore a bracelet made from the tail rotor gearbox chain of one of the ships. I remember that day in vivid detail over 30 years later. Thanks for sharing the heli content. I know it took a lot for you to feel comfortable enough to do this.

This is in my top 5 of any videos you have done too date... you can really see the passion in your eyes and they way you act while your in the air. It's pretty frickin cool too see. 🤘

I can’t be the only one who thought he was fixing to watch a jet boat get dropped from 500’ in the air.

Great work man!! The whole pendulum thing reminds me of my preferred form of aviation, I’m a free flight paraglider pilot (no motor) and I fly cross country in the mountains. The entire aircraft is basically a pendulum, us the pilot are at the bottom and we use our weight to pendulum and swing out to make turns, climb, dive, etc. pretty much every maneuver is using the pendulum effect, and we practice stalling the glider where we swing forward then let the gliding fly and it will shoot out in front of us, then we have to “catch” the shoot using the brakes on the glider, then stop the oscillations. We do lots of advanced training to learn how to do this, and we do this type of training over a lake with a rescue boat, it’s pretty amazing and terrifying, but in strong thermic conditions we have to know how to recover from a multitude of situations.

Hearing Cletus suggest he never makes bad purcheses as I lookover at my next suggested video and it's the one from 2 years ago where he bought a wheelie car and George immediately flips it. Priceless

Congrats to Cleetus! I've been on the receiving end of heavy long lines (250') and hoist work; it's not easy by a long shot. I have so much respect for the pilots I worked with. Being on a hoist (or even catching a 60 pound hook) requires trusting your pilots with your life. Good job dude!

I’ve really enjoyed watching cleetus go from a more “im playing the cleetus character for this video” with tongue firmly in cheek, to George joining the crew and seeing James and George and cleet have a more natural and genuine interaction.

Can we collectively offer this man tall props? While I understand he is already an experienced pilot, he essentially got an entirely new type rating AND put it to use in a real scenario in what..24 hours? Who in the world does that? An official type rating course for this rotorcraft, from Kachemak Bay Flying Service is 10 days and includes 22 hours of ground and 15 hours of flight training. I mean, just, who does that in a day? Not only that, but Cleetus also learned the skills for long lining on top of the base type rating skills. Absolutely incredible on so many levels.

Once again reminded just how natural a wheel man Cleeter is. 😮

41 minutes of the month of freedom is what we all wanted but don’t deserve. You the man Cleet

you have a gift in keeping the content interesting and not boring and repetitive... great video and great content as always

It helps that he does so many different things on the channel. If it was just a drag racing channel, I would not be too interested in it. After a while a bunch of drag racing videos would get old.

“electrozapacuted”😂😂😂 i love these guys, i’ve learned so much just from watching

Unreal skills Cleetus! Fair play, pure natural 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

41 min’😳 hell yeah brother!

Man, Cleet usually makes everything look so easy, but when something looks hard like this, you know it's hard!

Amazing job i have been the slingload several times during my Army career but now I am looking at getting an aviation license for this reason. Inspirational

Awesome... Serious props (😉) to those who fly helicopters on a daily basis doing things like this to save and maneuver people.

Absolutely love the month of freedom. Thanks for all your hard work

I love the Hawk screech soundbite in the intro.....murica

i do exploratory mining and this is a part of our every day job in the mountains catching sling loads, we normally use 100 foot long line, on foggy days we use a 50 footer, catching a 1800-3000 pound load in the wind on the side of a mountain and get pretty exciting. props to the pilots

Exploratory mining for what?

Garrett you are such an impressive young man. The things you do, can do, learn to do how do you manage to do it all? I'm so glad that all those years ago I found your channel. Just don't kill yourself to make these videos. I love watching them as well as over 3 million people now. I can only imagine how many more viewers you will get from these aviation videos as well. Still wish you'd give me a 4.6 2 valve motor for my dead truck though!!!

Cleetus, I hope you realize just how special of an instructor pilot you have with you. I was an IP in the Army and can sympathize with what you went through. All tense and overcorrecting at first, but at the end you were getting relaxed and letting the machine do the work. All the while your IP was getting comfortable with you. Long lining is very difficult. Throw in wind, rain, night, high tension wires and the like and it is amazing what these pros can do. As a retired IP I am in awe of what the MD series is doing out there in the working world and the pilots flying them.

I'm at a loss for words on how jealous I am. With that being said, the way these videos come out make me FEEL as if I'm there, and it's incredibly hard to describe just how much joy it brings watching your content. I'm so pumped for you man, as a Dad seeing you succeed the way that you do makes me so proud and happy. You're building an empire, and it'll never stop growing!

I think part of it is George. His commentary is always so upbeat and kind of what we are thinking. He is Cleets hype man and try's very hard to make sure he is getting everything he can for us in the safest manner.

Cleet drives a 6 second drag car and this is the most he's had to focus. That's perspective right there.

The way he landed the jet boat on the trailer was chef's kiss!

Trying to hover a helicopter is the hardest thing I’ve done flying. Putting a line on it, and having your head out trying to hit a 5 gallon bucket… mad props Mr. McFarland.

I live on a ranch in the mountains. I have a ton of videos and hours of watching the local power company doing this. We always get a wave back from the linemen in the basket passing over the section of our ranch that has the main line towers passing through. Such a fun thing to watch when you love aviation.

I'm so freeking glad you gave George a job Cleeter. He's a new man these days. Just thinking where he was, to where he is now.. its really awesome.
