    Description
    This 2003 Diamond DA40 offers a rare combination of efficiency, low total time, and major recent investment that makes it an easy aircraft to appreciate. With just 5 hours since a fresh Lycoming major overhaul, the next owner can enjoy the confidence of a virtually new engine paired with Diamond's proven 9 GPH operating economy. Professionally refinished in 2026 in a clean white paint scheme with no exterior livery, it presents exceptionally well while offering a blank canvas for personal customization, flight school branding, or flying club identity. Combined with its MT composite propeller, Power Flow exhaust, modern IFR capability, and thoughtful upgrades throughout, this DA40 is a turn-key platform ready for its next mission.
