Brother! I've been doing corporate jet rapid response for almost 17 years. Unfortunately, she will never fly again. As other techs have mentioned, the laundry list of work would be crazy expensive. Don't listen to the grumpy old mechanics, clean her up, stick her 100% complete on a pole with DC power and a fuel supply. Make the coolest conference office ever!

No joke, this has been the best of any month of freedom and I also wanna say the wholesome "thanks for watching" from everyone was super sick. This is a family of folk we've created. Amd it just felt personal to me. The little things that make cleatus channel as great as it is

[iNotsuoh]

Cleet, you’re one of the best on YouTube straight up. The diversity of your channel and just overall commitment to your fans and what you love is a very admirable thing. What you’ve built is pretty insane and the group of people around you makes it even better. You guys have a real family and legacy to fulfill

[KurtisKlunder]

Aviation mechanic for 23 years here. You just bought yourself the coolest lawn ornament ever. By the time you fix what's broken on that thing, you could easily be into a new/like new corporate jet with money left over. Park it somewhere, revamp the interior and make it a cool Air bnb. Or seal it up tight, wash it down real well, and park it at the Freedom Factory.

the fact that Cleet bought a private jet with $15k cash in a Ziploc bag is why I'm subscribed to this channel! Entertainment at it's finest.

Look for a Citation XL. The avionics on those old birds are going bad a lot the last few years so go find one with low time and buy one, then do a Garmin 5000 upgrade, fixes everything that is going wrong. Engines are solid and current. I fly one right now. I actually downgraded from an XLS w/Universal to an XL w/G5000 so I could learn more about the more modern avionics and move to Denver, closer to family.

Bro this is amazing! Literally today, I went out with my Vietnam veteran grandfather spent some time with him had my truck and trailer I had used before we hung out and as we were out, bought a 2000 Camaro with a 5 speed for shits and giggles. ( 3 grand ) has a “the beast” sticker on on her and now we are screwing around calling it F J B flips with our initials. 😂 video reminds me of what we did earlier today. Love your crew cleet!

I have been in corporate aviation maintenance for 25 years. I have been directly involved in Falcon 900 aircraft for over a decade. You would need to spend WAY more than it would cost to buy another flying aircraft to get this going safely. I bet if you tried you could sell some major components and avionics and make a majority of your money back and make a fun decoration out of it.

I don't comment on vids very often. But the happiness cleet has had the last couple months is awesome. You can see it in his face. This dude is living his best life, Congrats to you brother. And good job to all the viewers for making it possible. I know he would have been successful and happy no matter what he ended up doing in life. But definitley wouldnt have had as much fun.

[TRLDG]

I love how these guys have fun and just enjoy being guys together. I wish I had friends.

I was part of MAJOR inspection on one of these. The guy who had owned it for a long time, but it sat and wanted it back Flying. We literally had to disassemble the whole airplane, including taking the tail off for inspections.
It was a 2 year project. The only good part about was the Engines had been sent in for overhaul before we got it. And those GECF 700 engines are gas hogs. I wonder if you could even get a hush kit for those. There was a time where you could put Garrett 731s on them like the old jet star.
they were great planes back in the 70’s and you were the man if you owned one.
Good Luck

My company sold a Falcon 2000 it had last year, a 2C landing gear inspection (due every 12 years) cost $335, 000…just as an idea of servicing a Falcon. We had corrosion corrected on the windscreen and some spars for another $295, 000. I can’t even guess the cost for redoing the entire electrical and hydraulic systems.

I used to work at Duncan Aviation until I retired in 2014. And I did a lot of work on Falcon 20s. It would be the world's biggest surprise to me if you got that thing airworthy for only $300, 000. That would only be the opening down payment on what you would need done. You will soon find out those Falcon 20s have the most complicated leading edge slat linkages known to man. Also, be aware that French aluminum is well known to be partial to a LOT of corrosion issues. Anyone who works the Falcon will have to deal with Dassault engineers and being French, they work on their own schedule for returning repair instructions. Good luck whatever you intend to do.

After watching for so many years. That intro and all the guys saying thanks for watching. Got me right in the feels.

I am just a lowly PPL, but I have asked around a TON about private airplane ownership, and my flight school is based out of Dolphin, our mechanics which includes an IA&P have also worked on jets frequently. What you just bought there is an endless money pit that will cost you more than you put into the Freedom Factory. It's excellent eye candy and you can do plenty of other things with it, like others have said could look really cool at the FF or even Bald Eagle Airport if you want to put it there. A unique Air B&B is also an idea if you want to put some money into it, but getting that thing flying again with all applicable repairs & AD's is likely going to cost you MILLIONS.
