Diamond Evolution DA20-C1

The Diamond DA20-C1 Evolution is the workhorse of our fleet. We currently operate two, C-GSMT and C-GHYJ. C-GSMT was built in 1998 and C-GHYJ in 2001. The DA20-C1 is a 2 seat aircraft constructed with composite materials making it light and fast. It is powered by a 125hp Continental IO-240 engine. The cabin is well equipped with the standard instruments, GPS and VOR. The aircraft is built in Canada and very well suited for flight training. Some say when you fly this aircraft you become a part of it.


The Evolution is available to rent for $159.95/hr (including fuel)
