We have stopped here at nearly every one of our sixteen crossings of the United States coast-to-coast. They are very focused on customer service and even stepping out of a little four-seater piston single we were treated like we were going to drop ten grand on jet fuel. They loaned us a crew car to run to dinner and pick out a hotel and then drove us over to the hotel. The plane was fueled and pulled up in the morning as requested. The past few years the ramp had gotten very rough and we were happy to see this year that it was brand new concrete.

Great experience at Cutter Aviation ABQ on Friday August 12th. Radioed ahead to request fuel and a car to grab lunch and pick up our passengers in the area. Jim had the car ready and we were on our way in a few short minutes. Upon our return the correct amount of fuel had been dispensed, cold water bottles were offered along with the AOPA discount on Avgas and we were on our way. Ramp fee waived with the 20 gal minimum purchase. Jim and Cutter made this a very smooth trip and got us out on schedule and home to Spicewood, TX before dark. Thanks! We will be back!

Arrived mid day in my Bonanza BE36. Was meet by staff and marshaled into a parking spot in from of the entrance door. They brought a baggage cart and water. I took on 40 gallons (a bit high priced at $6.14) but no other charges (with 20 gallons or more). Got a ride to a hotel right away in a nice cool van. Next morning the plane was waiting right out front ready to go. Very pleased. Will use next time.

I just wanted to let all my friends at Cutter Aviation know that I am retiring from professional flying. Appropriately, I finished my last flight, arriving at Cutter in an Eclipse the night of February 2, 2019.

I have been a licensed pilot for 64 years and have flown in the military and as a professional pilot for 59 years, and now it’s time that I spend a little more time with my wife of 59 years. It’s been a “great ride,” because I love flying, and because of all the great people I have known and worked with in aviation.

In particular, I want you and all the employees at Cutter to know how much I appreciate your professionalism and friendship. Please pass on my personal thanks for their making my time in aviation in Albuquerque most enjoyable. As the saying goes, they have made “the worst day of flying better than the best day of real work.”

While I’m retiring from professional flying, I will not be gone. You will still see me around the airport in my Mooney!
