6. I’ve saw your videos here and there and never subscribed but, after seeing videos on my FB reels by what I’m guessing is your God given name flying this helicopter to bring supplies and/or rescue folks in Western NC I’m subscribing now. Thank you for what you’re doing to help those poor folks out, my dad’s got a place about 25 minutes from Chimney Rock and it’s basically non-existent now.

7. Thanks for Helping out in Appalachia My prayers for yall Godspeed good Sir.

9. What you are using that helicopter for to help the victims in Western North Carolina just got you a new subscriber. Thank You so much for what you are doing.

10. Great to see this bird helping so many people in N.C. right now.

11. Only if he knew that he would be using this to save thousands of lives in WNC 🙏🔥

12. Helicopters are so Awesome,,,and expensive. I am so jealous, maybe in my next life. Congratulations Cleet.

13. As for the instrument flying.
    Look at it like a condom.
    Better to have it & not need it.
    Than to need it & not have it.

14. Can we see more of the runway hous sorry mantion

15. Sorry, I'm sure it's been asked before, but what does 'Consuela' mean?

16. Love it!

17. Hell Yea Brother!!! Very nice!!!

18. As a big time helicopter enthusiast, do you have any thoughts on Hill Helicopters?

19. Awesome 👌

20. It’s a beautiful thing to see a machine like that restored to all of its original (if not better) glory. Can’t say I’m a fan of the paint, because stars and stripes should never be grey, but obviously quality work by the paint shop. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.

21. This rig crashed and was abandon, maybe it's telling you something. Stay on the water

22. Remember the 1st time you showed us this train wreck. It's been an amazing transformation to watch. She looks better than new now. Hats off to everyone that brought her back to life and made her a prom queen. Love it!!!👍👍

23. what a beautiful piece of machinery

24. Seeing you in your new flight suit, was almost as satisfying for me, as it was for you dude. Awesome project and you have so much to be proud of! You’re the man Cleetus! Congrats.👍

25. "frick i need a flight suit" had me dying lmao

26. Rich boys and their toys, they're all the same. Yawn.

27. Congratulations and you are welcome …😂

28. I have to be 100% honest. When I first saw the video of you getting this out of a shipping container I was pretty sure you got a complete lemon and it would never fly again. Glad you proved my intuition wrong. She's a beaut. 👍

29. Love this helicopter!

30. C'mon up to Dawsonville & fly with Chase. Nice job Cleetus.

31. MDs are just so awesome. Like legit one of the best helicopters ever made. I love them.

32. She is badass. Wouldn't expect anything different!!

33. please never get to P Diddy status!

34. Hell of a bird to own. Very stable, and useful.

35. I am very excited and happy to know that they have named it Freedom Factory and that they are keeping the Venezuelan flag as a gesture of freedom in these difficult times in Venezuela.That girl definitely deserves to fly free. It's a very beautiful gesture.

36. When is the giveaway? LOL

37. Cleaning only on Thursday

38. Really sweet looking aircraft. Congrats 👍 Was it really flying in a port side-down-attitude or was it just the camera angle?

39. Keep reaching for the Sky Cleet, we’ll keep supporting ya 💯🤘🏻🦅🇺🇸

40. What a gorgeous Hughes 500!!! Welcome back to the world of flying Consuela!!!🙏😱🌹👌

41. Awesome helicopter, My Man. Looks sweet and sounds amazing.

42. I saw a chopper mechanic working on a bell jet ranger one time…. He had three or four things different going all at the same time… He had meticulous packaging with parts in them with notes in each package and on the bench right next to the old parts written all over that bench… Notes for this notes for that reminders for this reminders for that…. He is the type of helicopter mechanic that you would want working on your helicopter…. What a good example in a well-trained chopper mechanic….. That's what I'm talking about.

43. Beautiful ride and stunning looking paint job.

44. Awesome looking chopper

45. Hey. What’s up with rolling the power back on during the auto? At least take it to the grass.

46. Good to see Hughes built a great one there and even after sat for 10 years incapable, back she came to her present flight status. Thanks to the Techs that rebuilt her to what she is.

47. $20k for a flight navigator

48. Cletus when you go through a check list you say “check” not yes not on its check.

49. Promoting gambling to children? Why?

50. Put the patch they gave you on your flight suit!
