Thanks for the Carbon Cub videos!!
Your the man Garrett
I’ve been wondering for some time how this series will end. It looks like we are well into the final season of this show.
Godspeed Cleetus, Godspeed.
Is there anything that you can’t drive or pilot like dang your so good
Cleetus the ultimate driver......yes I know you don't drive a carbon cub, but you know what I mean!
Next is a train right then you got it all in the bag till Elon calls and you ride a rocket
This man came out of left field from a 1320 meme to take on literally all forms of motor sports. Legendary.
FOR REAL. This man turned a joke into an empire. Amazing to watch.
dang. later, Rudolf Diesel
Best comment here
Garrett Mitchell for US President 2028
As an aircraft mechanic, automotive hobbyist, rc car hobbyist, and weekend wrench.... I can honestly say this is the greatest channel ever! Thanks guys, always enjoy the top tier content!
Cleet brings the heat for all of us to enjoy! The man can race anything....and either win or be a top competitor!
the as a comments have turned into a complete joke lol idk whether or not to take this serious
take what serious?
@@chrisharding2813
You forgot jetboats and hovercraft 😂😂
Facts.
George is like an excited dad watching his son play ball… such amazing energy
George is one of the best things to happen to this channel. The guy is just awesome.
@@camaro25yes his positivity is infectious. There really a great team around him.
Just think, he could still be porting engines in a cold back room if he didn't bet on himself and take a leap of faith. George is an inspiration, and that should be a lesson for all of us.
Yes he is with more detail lol
I'm so happy that Jeremy was a d¡ck to George. Georgie has made this channel even more fun and is quite possibly the best thing to happen to the channel!
I love seeing Mr. Sam out enjoying events. He’s such a positive man
Dude used to be an aircraft mechanic in the military, so he's got a love of planes too.
I was thinking the same thing. It's really encouraging.
I love the fact they bring him out to events like you said he's still living his life not slowing down and they are helping him do such. Shows how great they are
This man has done more for motor sports of all kinds than anyone ever.
Ever heard of Travis pastrana?
Lol that’s a stretch, Travis pastrana, ken block, etc.
This is only the beginning. He is going to build an empire...
Doin it for Dale too 🙌
@@Tina-mt9cl Yeah, we all know how that went with the Romans. He's not going to build an empire. He's a good CZcamsr, but let's be real. Niche audience surrounded by dying motorsports isn't what empires are made of. It's become the norm to skip the 2 minutes of every video because it's just the same...ol'..skit...every...video.
George has to be the most amazing hype man there is. So glad he's part of the team.
Just think, Jeremy wanted him in the back room porting heads & blowers...
Cant forget Sam!
Making friends with Jackstand Jimmy was the best choice he ever made. Great job, youtube legend, flying and riding in planes, best boss ever, burnout and drag racing rig, he out here living his best life.
@@LondonRednekWhat a missed opportunity to make that work
COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!
I am ridiculously proud of someone I have never met and probably never will. Every video from Cleetus and the crew is top notch. By far my favorite channel
same brother
He is super accessible and super nice! Go meet him!
Cleetus just accels at any & every motorsport he tries. It's undeniable, the man just has a raw talent that not many can say they have. Not only that, he's kind enough to bring us all along for the ride. I F'n love this channel, and I just wanna say Thank You, Garrett
I think it’s his confidence. He doesn’t seem scared when trying something new
I'm sure we could all do it if we had been trained to be a pilot for as long as he has...you lot seem to think he literally bought a plane and just jumped in it..
@@BariLopeshyou act like all of the other pilots aren’t trained. Everyone who is allowed to fly a plane has to go through a large amount of training and classes to get their pilots license. And to show up and be first in your class on your first try is a very hard thing to do. And idk why you are hating on him when all you have to do is not watch his content.
@BariLopesh did you really just say that 😂 as if Cleet wasn't competing against other pilots, most of whom are probably older than him with more flight hours logged. What a tool you are 😂
@@BariLopeshno not really or else there would be more people doing it
Those outside views were killer. Watching the cub just slowly appear over the trees was majestic!
Seeing it in person was amazing! I don't live too far away so I drove down today 😎 well worth a trip
@@goosenotmaverick1156 nice! Cleet got some really nice camera angles as well as the people filming outside. Was really cool to see the different perspectives of him landing, quickly doing a 180 and punching it back into the air
@@gianmangili it was really cool to watch, that's for sure! The camera angles they got were phenomenal. I sat at the main runway for a while and then moved to the "driftwood" one. Some of those planes were just whipping around. It was impressive watching all of them do their thing.
@@gianmangili also just wanted to add, the camera does not do justice to the accent and decent rates these guys were achieving. Cleet looked like he was dropping out of the sky once he past the pylons. Our boy can FLY!
The other planes were equally impressive. To be honest there were a few I wish one of them would have snagged a clip or two of and said hi to the owner. There were some really interesting powerplants flying there
This man is so humble that it's hard for him to celebrate his accomplishments. He knows he's a newcomer in that sport and you can tell he's anxious about making a statement run, but his unwavering modesty is absolutely first class. Congrats to another endeavor, and more positive input into the world.
Well said!
He has been in this situation before and lost when he wrecked the trophy truck a few feet from the finish line with a strong lead. That kind of thing builds character.
Special thanks to the folks taking video on the ground. I appreciate all the external video shooting and the editing of all the shots together. I find ‘cockpit only’ videos pretty boring, but being able to see each landing from outside of the plane was very entertaining. 👍
Dude, your SA is absolutely insane... First run and you're basically instructing your audience. Outstanding airmanship!
I can’t believe he did that for the first time filming and walking us thru it all. All those pilots watching and he is so relaxed. It’s incredible what he can do
That's how some people do it, they walk themselves verbally through it.
George has really come a man of the people when he has the camera or is on cam haha, shows us what we want to see andd the commentary!!!
Yeah super consistent with his camera work!
Cleetus is quickly becoming one of history's most adept racers. Who else do you know that has competed IN COMPETITION in so many different forms of the sport? And on top of that stays towards the top of the leaderboards constantly.
This man might actually have a world record and not even know it.
Ken block / Travis Pastrana
@@XwSScoutthey flew planes and drove boats?
@@aussiek2000 Travis has championships in off shore power boat racing. He also has motorcycle wins which Cleet doesn't have. They are probably the top two in multiple discipline race wins.
took them along time in each to reach the top didnt it tho. cleet just sees something with an engine hops in and hits leader boards first rip@@XwSScout
The man is not only good at everything he does, he’s usually great and he’s consistently one of the best no matter the sport is. Seriously an impressive individual.
Cleeter makin the airplane sound f/x during his first run had me rolling. Great job, Fly Boy!
I say this a lot but George is one of the best assets you've added to the team. He cannot ever leave
Agreed
Team George all day
Hell yeah! No doubt!! His enthusiasm is infectious!! Love what he's brought to the channel!
Redneck hype man!!!
He is the time of guy you would want to be around!
Cleetus and George are becoming best friends. To see George so excited for you to do well makes me happy brother!
Its clear Garrett has a passion for aviation and racing. You can hear the exitment and love in his voice now that he's combining the two! Congratulations Brother!
You can hear how amped up Cleet is in his breathing on these runs. Very cool!
George is one of the best additions to the channel faster proms definitely dropped the ball on George for sure.
Keep it classy, everyone staying civil in Bradenton is why these guys are still friends.
I'm sure Jeremy misses him. Hopefully they have repaired their friendship
Way to go sandy Spencer's mom you did a good job filming.
I get that Cleeter surprised himself with how well he did, but it was kinda funny watching him try to find the right emotion to express when he's realizing he might've come out the gate dominating in a new motor sport. What a class act this guy is.
This racing excites me! I have never seen this before. I am 77y old and the youngest daughter of 4. I spent many hours in the shop with my dad who taught high school boys how to build engines for racing in Mt Clemens, MI. It was just an oval track but always a fun time on Saturday nights. My dad also worked on very old cars to get them in running condition. The cars were owned by our local undertaker. I was always at my father’s left hand to provide assistance. I learned so much about engines doing this. My father was a test car driver for Chrysler in the 40s & 50s. This job involved driving the vehicles all of the USA and Mexico. He owned a shop of his own in later years and also did some test driving of Ford trucks. Your CZcams channel has been a source of enjoyment for me and my sons for a number of years. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!!
He goes headfirst in everything he does ... racing land, water...now air...hats off to that man and his crew..🇺🇸
head first but also sideways
is there anything this man cannot drive like an expert immediately?
what's next? buying a floatplane and taking on the schneider trophy?
@@mattyicee You do realise he trained for years to be a pilot right, it's not something he just randomly did...
@@BariLopesh No, I thought this was his first time and he just jumped in a fucking airplane and started racing it. If you’re too much of a simpleton to understand what I meant, then I idk what to tell you.
It's really underappreciated by the people that aren't pilots just how much skill it takes to do what you're doing with that airplane. Props to you man!
Man the closeness of the treetops still makes me nervous as a pilot
Pun intended huh
I assume you're a pilot ... that handle that he called flaps. Is that lever like an on off switch ? Seems like he just turns it on or off doesn't really use it other than that. Obviously I know nothing about airplanes 🤣
@@ls1jeeper The flaps are what you can see folded down on the inner half-ish of the wings when he's coming in to land (there's some great shots from the outside where you see them), they give the plane for lift when flying slow (landing/taking off), but also creates more drag, which is why you bring them up when you wanna go fast. The way he uses them to "jump off" when taking off is basically going fast and just bumping the flaps to create a ton of lift right when he needs it, instead of having them down and dragging along while accelerating. Hope that makes sense! Normal use of flaps is nothing like what you see these guys doing haha.
@@NoTraceFound yeah I get what you're saying. Thank you for the explanation 👍
🔥🔥🔥 I love how George’s excitement!!!
The more Cleetus is fired up George’s 100% more!! I love that!!
Let’s Goo Team Cleeter!!!
Dale would be Proud Bro!!!
You know what I like about this channel besides the awesome content? I’m so glad that Cleetus runs it as a business and keeps guys like LS George, Zach, Ty, Jackstand, Sam, all the Freedom Factory guys…all employed and plows tons of money back into the business. And a small business and not some big corporate turds. It’s just great.
Man, George has been truly blessed.
Out of the port closet, into the entire broad world of racing with Garrett
The OG's remember when George only appeared on YT with a Dremel in his hands
Squirrel skit really showed us George
@@wesley8599I remember those days! That was what 4-5 years ago now? In the shop with Jeremy! next door was Cleetus's first shop, I believe.
That's what happens when you drink 55 gallons of Purple Power!!
@andycrawl2128 man that was one of if not the best George moment ever!!
This is the only channel on youtube I look forward to watching everyday. He has a great team that puts 110% for the man and I am amazed constantly on their accomplishments in just a few short years. He's already a legend and he's just a baby. Unreal!
yes yes and more yes.
This absolutely sums up Cleetus' channel !!!
+1 on that one
Zackly!!
It’s cool to see someone that does all this genuinely get excited and really really enjoy himself! Have fun and enjoy the ride!
The pure, genuine hype in their voices.... I'm here for it! Awesome job, Cleet!
I love how proud and excited George gets for cleetus he's a true friend and they are hard to come buy now days I wish I had friends like you guys. Just an amazing group of guys.
The level of excitement on everyone’s faces in this video, shows how good of an investment it was for the channel. Keep doing it for Dale!
Not to mention they/ he genuinely is enjoying every minute of it.
Be careful nosing over after the pylons like you did in your second practice, You'll gain speed and actually extend your landing distance. Unless you needed to extend further to hit a line. It was hard to tell. I used to do that when trying to make the first turn off but found it was better just to hold the descent steady. Good luck!
George is one of the most supportive people I've ever seen dude is positive vibes ALL the time, cleet you're ;lucky to have him as a friend
It was so nice to meet you guys today. I thank you so much for taking the time to take a pic with me and my son before we headed out. Don't forget to put that sticker on ruby for me.
What's the deal with the sticker?
@@corrosivepyro he gave him a sticker to put on Ruby.
@@sjv6598 Thank you for the clarity, I understand now.
@corrosivepyro I gave him a sticker to put on ruby
George is a whole vibe 🙌🏼
The where is George? Made me smile. What a great hype man and friend!
he's the ultimate hype man/sidekick buddy lol
@@jacobt5720I thought the same thing. Also made me think of how close of friends they have become. They are closer than I thought they were.
George commentating is the best. Cleeter killed it!
Look at Sam! Like a proud grandfather! So cool that he lets you guys hang with him!
Can tell how excited everyone was!!! The giggling from Clet after each flight and George being the hype man
This man just doesn't stop! If it literally has an engine this man will climb in it and amaze everyone 😂😂 GO CLEET!!
And if it doesn't have an engine, he'll put one in it.
I'm so glad George came over to the crew when you got your own shop. With him and Sam, you have some great characters. I was fortunate enough to meet Sam, Parker, Zach, and Jimmy at SGMP during sick week last year. You guys are awesome and living the dream, HELL YEAH BROTHERS!!! DO IT FOR DALE!!!! LET'S GO FREEDOM!!!!!
So glad to see Madison going along and getting the chance to be a a great trip in a new state. I love seeing all of you hanging a blast 💥.
This man has gone from turbo whistles to racing air planes
Give it time there maybe a turbo whistle yet
Its crazy how good you just did. This is just like the first jet boat race. I was blown away with your skill each time.. Running up front in whatever kind of race you jump in is just insane.. You're a beast brother
Or the stadium racing! That was amazing too.
WHEELMAN!!!!
It's an ability to push it right to the limit, some damn finely calibrated sense there.
@@KableGuyCGYso close to winning that one too
Cleetus is the real life Ricky Bobby lol bro just wins anytime he sits in the driver's seat, now pilots seat. Livin life I love this show.
Wow, Cleetus McFarland. I thought you might get mid-pack on the practice runs or that you just qualified, but you posted a great time. We're all very proud of you. Good luck tomorrow.
AND what a BLAST to watch. Great video. DO IT FOR DALE BROTHER!!!
Man I love the daily uploads. Insane!
The cub looks so majestic in the air. ✈️
Me 2 especially when its race boats or Bush Plane Comps
With the new livery drip no less😂
Hearing the headset audio in the plane is a nice touch. Awesome bringing Sam, Ls George, and the wifey along to hype you up. Also shout out to Spencer's mom for that landing footage.
The amount of exposure Ole Cleet is placing on this sport makes him the Champ bf he ever entered the cockpit! His emotions at the end was so insanely real,he gave me goosebumps FR!!!!!
To see Sam and everyone else so excited, speaks volumes about the guy flying the plane! Proud to watch the channel!
Love the way he talks his self threw the course. Love it. Crazy to see how far you come. Since day one, you’ve been a inspiration to a lot of folks. Be safe
Yeah, describing his choices and decisions just makes it better for viewers (like me.)
I really think this helps him, having the camera there, narrating and talking through everything
This is totally cool. And I can’t imagine how nervous Maddie must get with all the adrenaline rush stuff Garrett does.
I know blasting through those trees at a low altitude you wonder what's going through her mind... straight from the jet boat Sprint race to the airplane.. God help him when little Ripper comes of age to drive.. With that name alone he has to grow up to be a professional race car driver........................................................... Ripper Mitchell - Ripper Mcfarland.
🇺🇸🦅🏁💸
As a LSA Pilot I know how big that class is and the ability of some of those Pilots. To show up and spank them by 30 points in your first ever run is HUGE!!! Plus when I seen Steve Henry in your pit I had a feeling you was in good company. I just seen on Facebook you won the LSA class. Congratulations 🇺🇸🦅🏁💸 I believe this is the first time a rookie has won.
I can already see Cleetus on Barnstormers looking for a old J3 Cub to put a 300hp Steve Henry Yamaha engine on. Building new wings with big flaps and a Acme Suspension kit to run the unlimited class. He will never be happy in the stock class. Make friends with Steve, your going to need him…lol. He builds a killer engines. I head them saying Yee Haw 8 is pushing 400hp in his 700lb Highlander. He is hitting 140 in the straight away. Congratulations Cleetus. Well Done.🇺🇸🦅🏁💸
I know that Cleetus said on the first vid with the carbon cub, that he originally was not going to do pain vids, and that he was going to make that his personal off screen thing. Can I just say with confidence, from I'm pretty sure your entire fan base, THANK YOU for choosing to include us on this journey!!! THANK YOU!!! Some of the best content!!!
So frickin awesome you bring Sam along. He's such a huge part of the team. Ya'll are living your best lives and Sam gets to be a part
Yeah I don’t know you if you listened to the sxsblog podcast with him, but he said something he loves to do if bring his friends to all the events. They have invites to pretty much every with travel, board, and food covered by him. Anything else they want to do they can, but he said he loves that he can provide in that way for his friends and family. I already had a ton of respect for him and gained so much more for him when I heard him say that
Man, I haven’t seen Cleet this happy before… ever. He seems more fired up than the World Cup win! You love to see it!
I believe it's referred to as an "adrenaline dump" ? LOL
It always more exciting when your learning/doing something new.
George is the best commentator. Especially with cleet doing his thing. Awesome job guys, can feel the excitement. Loving it.
Dudes racin airplanes and giving us commentary! Love it!!
This channel has such a diversity of content! I had no clue how entertaining Cleetus was going to be when I started watching him years ago! Keep it up boys!
Aint that the truth!!
Stadium super trucks, sprint boats, and now planes. The man hops in a new motorsport at the top of his class every time. Legend.
Bald eagles on the end of the wings with scallops fading back toward the middle. Hell Yeah Brother!!!
Carry a little more altitude over that last set of pylons so your approach angle is steeper. Get that energy more vertical so the stopping distance is shorter. The gear can handle it. Awesome day 1!
the evolution of Cleet is astronomical, went from Turbo whistle videos on the C7 to Aviation videos is so dope!
Garett is so under appreciated as a motor sports athlete. He has dominated every single thing he’s ever done. Drag racing, drifting, flying, trophy trucks. He is naturally talented. Also has a law degree😂
Man, those stars on the flaps are so bad ass when you’re coming in slow! That wrap is awesome 🇺🇸
Right! The front view on that first landing showing the stars on the flaps was DOPE AF!
You cant do enough aviation content! Please keep them coming.
George is really learning a lot about aviation, that is so so cool way to go the more people involved in aviation the better, I was born passionate about airplanes, I started flying when I was only 12 years old
Cleetus, I have watched you do a number of hair-raising racing activities like the high-speed boat races and rapid running but I have to say this event had my heart racing. All the best.
"breaking the pylons is only a 10-point penalty, part of me wants to break one on purpose" hahah i love that
Now that would be doing it for Dale!
Taking a page out of Jackstand's book. "Racing between the Rules" LOL!
This looks like an amazing time to race smaller airplanes!! I also like how cleet has George as his personal hype man!!😂 (after the first run he was hyped up looking for George 😂)
George is the ultimate hype man, full stop.
YOU SIR, are THE MAN!!
The weather up there it was perfect, nice density altitude, made for some awesome performance.
It doesn’t help that the carbon cub is one of the best Stahl aircraft ever built, but that doesn’t matter if you’re not a good pilot, which you obviously are an amazing pilot.
you got a national ability to handle anything, I have the same gifts I just haven’t been as blessed as you .
YET
You can hear the pure excitement in cleets voice. That’s so awesome man! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for coming to Arkansas, it was amazing meeting you guys and watching you do your thing in person was awesome! Hope you come back again!
I never thought i would be so excited to watch Cleetus in a plane flying comp... the last time i was this excited, amped up and nervous (cant really explain it) was when Leroy was going for 7's and that night Leroy was throwing ALL the issues at you but you guys made it and blew it well into the 7's (that video is over 5 years old now).
I know I say this every year, but with the ever changing new (and awesome) content this channel produces, if you went back to watching those whistles in the exhaust videos and somebody told you that in a few years this dude would be racing Stadium Super Trucks and Jet Boats and Bush Planes (not to mention all the drag racing and Crown Vic malarkey) you'd have called them a Crazy B*astard!
I know it doesn't hurt having the money to back it up, but the way his talent allows him to just drop in to leading positions in literally his first efforts in new sports is astounding. There is so much more to come from this guy, and I can't wait to be there with the team watching and cheering him on.....
Had my adrenaline spiking, can only imagine how much of a rush that must be in the plane!!! So cool to watch, stay safe Cletus
Georgies commentary was awesome. Great Job Cleeter !!! This is super cool to see a new kind of racing.
I've been saying it for years, Cleetus is the most pure motorsports athlete out there. Dude can drive ANYTHING and be a competitor
Frickin’ awesome Cleetus………some fancy stop and goes with the “Carbon Cub”…… kudos FlyBoy……..🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁
Everyone needs a friend like George. He's awesome!
Excellent display of airmanship. The shot of the slip around the bend on the 2nd run 1st landing was epic.
I know Cleet is a phenomenal pilot and this video just goes to show how good he is, blew me away this was sick I don’t know how I missed this video when it was first posted but I can’t wait for more plane contests
Pure excellence!
Hats off to you brother.
This is a perfect example of what is possible when you chase a goal with passion.
Congrats!
Cleetus is like Tony Stewart: He’s competitive in every form of Motorsports! Great video editing & commentary from George.
Cleetus once again shows the world that he is just a straight up wheel man doesn’t matter what you put this man in he gets straight to figuring out the fastest way to get it done!!!!!
Ive said this once, Ill say it again. Cleeter is the definition of a “Wheelman”. Thru and thru put em behind the “wheel” of a motorized vehicle and hes got you. Love it man, Keep up the goodwork!!
Cleet has officially finished almost all options available in The Crew video games 😂 I’m jealous
Maybe He can do a Cleetus event for the crew motorfest like dougnut and super car blondie , he has all the vehicles
@@vettemaniac1 I agree! I’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been a partnership with the crew or forza yet.
Cleet if you see this… we need a Landing Challenge on MFS into the freedom factory. Gotta make it happen brother! Even if it’s a DLC.
they would hit him with micro transactions for every vehicle and event he entered. Cleet would go bankrupt in his first 30mins @@matthewtudor7982
There is nothing with a motor that this man can't tear it up in. Land, sea, air, he's unstoppable!
WHEELMAN!!!!
10:28 Cleeter twin stroking the Cub shows that he truly cares how his machines feel😂
Already a legend on the ground now a legend in the air. Let's go! Seeing this man just do it all is so motivating. Need more Cletus an the guys in the world today..
Good to hear Garrett REALLY enjoying himself! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Cleet was born with talent. Everything he tries he ends up being great at. Good job man
Yes and, he also takes everything he does very seriously, even the seemingly silly stuff. He's done a ton of off camera aviation training including the takeoffs and landings for this event.
Calling it talent discounts how hard this man works 🤙
So glad he dropped out of his Law Degree to do this........ however, it seems he may have made one hell of a Prosecution or Defence attorney, he'd have been like a dog with a bone in court.
@@stuart82388 That's true, I didn't mean to sound like he doesn't work hard for what he does.
Great job guys! My hat's off to you Cleetus and your team, keep up the good work and the farmer said, That'll do pig, that'll do with a big proud smile on his face!
I really love George behind the camera!!!!
Flying skills were super impressive, the gliding ability of the carbon cub is remarkable. Panicked for a second because I Genuinely thought you didnt have the speed to clear some of those trees.
I love how excited George gets, best hype man ever.
