This year, Diamond is showcasing a broad selection of its advanced aircraft, including the DA20-C1, DA40 NG, DA42-VI, DA50 RG, and the flagship DA62. Diamond members and aviation enthusiasts gathered under the Oshkosh sky, creating an innovative and passionate dream of the sky.
For the first time, Diamond introduced a dedicated Pilot Shop at the show, offering exclusive branded merchandise, pilot gear, and accessories for aviation enthusiasts and Diamond operators alike.
One of the highlights of this year’s AirVenture was the launch of the Diamond Flying Club, officially established in May 2025. The club is designed to foster a vibrant community of Diamond pilots and aircraft owners through exclusive content and shared experiences. To mark the occasion, Diamond hosted its inaugural Diamond Flying Club Dinner Party at AirVenture, bringing together private aircraft owners and fleet operators for an evening of great food, door prizes, and unforgettable pilot stories. The event underscored Diamond’s commitment to building a stronger, more connected pilot community.
Diamond Aircraft also received certification from Transport Canada for the GTX 345 DR, enabling ADS-B satellite coverage in Canadian airspace. Utilizing space-based ADS-B technology through the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation, this capability delivers comprehensive air traffic surveillance and in-flight weather services—even in remote and traditionally underserved regions. This will enhance safety and operational awareness for Diamond operators flying in Canada.
Diamond also delivered several new aircraft to customers at AirVenture 2025, including the latest DA42-VI to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Airventure display with a custom paint scheme created in honor of Embry-Riddle’s 100th anniversary. Last week, EVA Flight Training Academy closed on the purchase of two DA42-VI aircraft, and two DA40 XLT aircraft to add to their Diamond fleet. Middle Tennessee State University will also be adding six additional DA40 XLT aircraft to their very substantial Diamond fleet. These aircraft represent these institutions’ shared commitment to aviation education, innovation, and excellence in pilot training. Finally, Premier Aircraft will deliver the DA50 RG on display to its new owner at the show on Friday.
