Hey all,

Have any of you flown with this company, what are they like?

They have a good selection of new Diamond aircraft and also a DA40XL, anyone flown one of these (what's the difference to the normal DA40?)


Thanks! ;)

Very genuine and ethical management at EAA. Certain instructors are arrogant and most are superb.

Aircraft in mint condition. Generally not a bad word about them, just make sure you get an instructor you like and you'll have a wonderful trip.
