We had the pleasure of visiting your COS facility yesterday. We were were meeting pilot, Paul Qualls, who was transporting a very special dog from Raton, NM to Colorado Springs, CO as a volunteer with Pilots N Paws. Paul's transport, Callahan, was on his way to Freedom Service Dogs in Englewood, CO where he will learn to become a service dog. Freedom Service Dogs rescues dogs from shelters in the region and trains them to have a new job and become an invaluable friend tou our clients - at absolutely no cost to the client. Many of our clients are veterans, active-duty military and children who require a specially trained companion.

I was meeting Mr. Qualls to complete the transport. As a volunteer, I have the humble task of sourcing, evaluating and helping transport these dogs for the future life; either at Freedom or through the Prison Trained K-9 Companion Program. In many cases I have my two children with me and we have never been treated better than we were yesterday. The crew at your facility were welcoming, appropriately inquisitive and gave us the VIP treatment. Eddy even gave us a ride in the pilot's van to the tarmac so my children could watch Mr. Qualls land with his daughter, Melia and Callahan in the back. My 6 year old son mentally devoured everything Eddy said and is still talking about the experience. We were so very impressed that they treated us with so much kindness and were truly interested in making our visit a pleasant one while performing our worthwhile task.

Please forward our thanks to your crew there for making our time at your facility a bright spot in our day.

Sending only good wishes,

We have flown into Cutter in the 421 twice in 2 weeks. Both times the service was top notch with rental cars waiting by the plane as the engines were being shut down. Ramp is busy but a swarm of ramp employees get the chocks on, fuel orders, and rentals (with water in them) and make things effortless. Hangar prices are a bit steep overnight, but well worth it. Top notch and they seem to treat every one in every kind of plane with the same great service.

I came to Colorado Springs to assist with the Waldo Canyon fire. We were in a Cessna 337P to work as air attack on the fire. I am here to tell you that the service at Cutter Aviation is the best that I have had any place in the USA. When we came we were met and treated like we flew in some kinda fancy jet! Cold water, lemonade, crew cars, rental cars, brownies, smiles, quick and helpful service and attention are a big part of what is so neat at this FBO. If that is not enough I was unable to find a motel to stay at when we arrived and the Counter found us a room in a city with 35,000 people displaced from their homes! I had given up looking. Cutter saved me from sleeping on the cold hard ground in a sleeping bag at a fire camp! The employees are all one in a million that care about the business even more that themselves, the quality of service at this FBO is exceeded by none. THANK YOU.

Response from Jessica Rowden, General Manager, Cutter Aviation

It was a pleasure and an honor to be able to assist you and all of the air attack crews here in KCOS. We always strive to make each customer's experience amazing, but you guys will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank YOU for working so hard to help save our city and surrounding areas from this devastating fire. I feel like we couldn't have done enough to let you know how very much we appreciate you and all that you do!

It was just a quick stop in KCOS on 3/19/15 and service was excellent. We had an issue with our lav and both line personnel (can't remember their names) were spot on. They had the cart out right away, provided me with the necessary equipment and solved the problem. After that, they hustled and retrieved the fuel truck and were quick in providing fuel, so we could have some time to grab a quick lunch. CSR service was excellent inside as well. Nice to be greeted by smiling faces and helpful service. Thanks!
