Reviews & Testimonials

Colin Summers
DA40 Owner, Santa Monica, CA

"I am an architect in the Los Angeles basin, and have several projects in the Las Vegas area. The Southwest cattle car from LAX to LAS became a real hassle, with security lines lasting an hour or more after 9/11. I had to find an alternate way to travel - and decided that flying myself was the way to go."

Brian Noble
DA40 Owner

"I bought a C172 to train in - but once I had a hundred or so hours in it, I knew I wanted more performance. I did a lot of research in magazines, and looking at airplanes on my field. One key factor for me was getting my wife to travel with me - and she felt so comfortable and safe in the Diamond that it made the decision to buy the DA40 really easy for me."

Juan Bermudez
Second Time DA40 Owner

"When I bought my first DA40, I had some experience flying the DA20 Katana, which impressed me with its fun handling and great visibility after learning in an older Cessna 172. I did a lot of research on the Cirrus SR20, Cessna 172 and DA40. The decision really was made when my wife and I went to Sun 'N Fun. We sat in another brand aircraft, then walked across the grass to Diamond - there was just no comparison, and it was clear that the DA40 was going to be our plane."

Chris Strahan
Eight-time Diamond Owner

"I got introduced to the DA20 right when I first got back into aviation. I had taken lessons in high school, then stopped. A friend of mine took me to an airport open house, and I saw a DA20 there, 10 years ago. I took an introductory flight in the Diamond - and was hooked. I bought 3 older DA20s initially to put on a local flight line, and traded them up several times to where I now own two DA20 C1s on leaseback at a flight training academy, and a DA40 for my personal aircraft. I am on my 8th Diamond - and really feel like I am part of a family. I got to know the people at the factory - and my distributor has really made it easy for me to keep trading up in the Diamond line."

Tom Greene
DA40 Owner

"My partner in the airplane and I wanted to buy a plane to make the world smaller for us. We live in Kentucky, and our railroads are in Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia. I also have family in Michigan - and the DA40 is a great airplane to bring all of these places closer together."
