Are there any DA62 Owners out West?

Post by kjmeyers1 »

Hi,

My self and another guy are thinking about a DA62. I flew one at fun and sun a year and a half ago and loved it. He hasn't seen one live and want to compare the size of the interior to a 206. If we can find one somewhere in the Western U.S., we would love to fly out to to peek inside.

Hi Ken,

I flew one out of Long Beach to Catalina, but I am not really familiar with the 206 for comparisons. It felt huge to me, but I was 1,600 hours in my DA40 at that point. There *is* one regularly based at KLGB with Angel City Flyers. I'm sure they would be okay with you taking a look at the interior, probably even sitting in it for a moment, but you should give them a call before heading down. They are an all-Diamond shop, and they have a sister location up in the Bay Area. So it's possible that they would have a line on one around SF if there's one based up there (if there is, chances are that they do the maintenance on it).
