You really feel welcome at Cutter. Including me, there were two single engine prop plans arriving at 11AM Friday 10/10, and one single engine turboprop departing. Aside from that, I found out Cutter was one man short out on the line. But did we all get first class handling and service? Yes! Thanks to Carl, Kirsten, Mollie, and Alfred who ran back to the cart to get me a cold bottle of water for departure. Supervisor Tara took care of everything, despite being busy adding a fresh coat of paint to the lobby in time for the upcoming Super Bowl. Cutter is still the best.

I've been to a lot of FBOs; Atlantic, Signature, and MillionAir, etc. So far, in my experiences, Cutter in Deer Valley has outclassed them all. The line crew to reception were super friendly and helpful. I flew a Cessna 182 in from Austin and you would have thought I just came in on a Global. They happily provided me transportation to/from the Drury Hotel, which, by the way, has a great rate for guests of Cutter. The fuel was super expensive but because of the service I received, I felt the cost didn't have a sting to it.

I recently returned to Cutter at KDVT, for short-term hangar. Having last hangared with them in January of 2016. What was comforting was that Simon LaRocca is still there, as are several of his young team members that I recall from the previous stay. Simon promptly and efficiently confirmed my hangar arrangements via email weeks ahead of the stay, and it was a genuine pleasure - almost of homecoming of sorts - upon my return. Cutter's KDVT outfit is first-class; they very obviously take great care in how they move the aircraft around, the staff is genuinely friendly and accommodating, and the fuel service is prompt and professional. I will report again towards the end of my stay but Simon and his crew earn top marks from me for now. Highly recommended.

My typical longer flights include an exhaustive search to fund an airport with an open restaurant for passengers, including a rest stop and fuel. I was not disappointed with DVT and Cutter. There were a lot of students in the pattern -- maybe the IFR flight plan made it easier to "cut in" and out with prompt landing clearance and maybe 5 minutes wait to take off (hint: land on the south runway for quick access to Cutter). I echo all the sentiments of earlier posters: quick rock star parking with experienced line guys and a spotless windshield. Plus the restaurant was better than average with quick service -- and about 100 steps from Cutter. Thanks Cutter and DVT!
