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!

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!

To say that Cutter is a step above is not even close to enough praise. I lead a Customer Experience (CX) team at a large software mfg., and will be using my Cutter experience as a great aspirational example. Always above and beyond, always caring about you and your family, and I only fly a prop plane. It makes you WANT to do business with them whenever possible. Reasonable prices are great (and they have those), top-notch customer experience is why I keep coming back. Well done.
