So... We Bought an Airport

Featuring a Wauchula guy Hendrick with the yellow MTO. Sounds like he sold it. If these guys get into flying gyros it will be nothing but good. The sport will blow up. Everything Cletus touches turns to gold.

If you haven’t watched his videos you should on YouTube. He’s been doing it since he was very young. He’s a Florida cracker who made it big as one of the biggest YouTube stars.

He has way too much money, I thought he made it big as a nascar driver?

Nope as far as I know his money came from him doing you tube videos starting when he was a teenager. He rents the Bradenton Motor Speedway which he changed the name to the Freedom Factory. They run all kinds of crazy races there none of which are NASCAR.

OK Florida gyro owners. Plan a gyro fly-in into Myakka Head, ASAP. Three to five gyros. Visit with Cleetus and offer him a ride. Once he is hooked, get a PRA chapter formed on the airfield. Then getnly ask for "assistance" to help repave Mentone Airport.

That would have been impressively Machiavellian.........Had you not POSTED IT ON A PUBLIC FORUM!!!!!! :eek:
 
LOL

With the right scoal media influencer, recreational gyroplane aviation will certainly receive a boost in popularity and support. Incresed popularity means increased numbers of those whould would be willing to support resurfacing the Mentone Airport runway.

I would think he would pave his own before ours.

Not saying or implying that he will finance paving the Mentone runway. He or any social media influencer that mentions the need for the Mentone runway to be repaved to their followers opens the door to more possible donations from others outside the finite number of PRA membership. That is the "assistance" I mentioned.

Someone ought to make a Tic Toc plea for runway repairs. Do it right and you'd be surprised!

Cleetus owns the old DeSoto, FL. paved oval track and dragstrip, which he completely renovated and calls "The Freedom Factory" It was defunct and he now packs the place.

Cleetus is very good at driving and flying and everything else he does. In addition to his Carbon Cub Cleetus (not his real name) Cleet just bought a McD 500e and is having it completely rebuilt. Another influencer friend of his (something) Diesel Bought a Sikorsky Blackhawk. Who ever thought, when computers came out, they'd make money like this... by influencing!
