Aero Friedrichshafen 2025

2025 proved to be a landmark year for the Aero Friedrichshafen show (the 31st holding of the event) as more business jets and turboprops than ever were present.

Wooten Returns to Cutter Aviation as Regional Aircraft Sales Manager

Wooten is no stranger to Cutter Aviation. He spent more than 20 years through the 1980s and 1990s with Cutter Aircraft Sales as a Beechcraft sales representative. His experience and history with the company made him a perfect choice for the new position, in which he will manage sales and acquisitions of pre-owned turbine and jet aircraft and high-performance piston aircraft for Cutter Aviation. Wooten will also be the Arizona sales manager for the Cutter Aviation Southwestern U.S. dealership for the American Champion Aircraft family of aerobatic and backcountry light aircraft.

Wooten started in aviation more than 30 years ago as a flight instructor and charter pilot building flight time from a small airport in Missouri. Moving to Phoenix in the late 1970s, Wooten began his aircraft sales career in 1979 with Cutter Aviation as a salesman for the Beechcraft dealership at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. His two decades of experience with Cutter Aviation and Beechcraft and experience in the past decade with EADS-Socata (now Daher-Socata) TBM 700 and 850 turboprop single aircraft afforded Wooten the opportunity to develop a high-level understanding of the executive piston, turboprop and light jet market.
