Moncton Flight College Selects Diamond Aircraft DA20-C1
Eclipse
When ANN sampled the
latest version of Diamond's gutsy little two place DA20 C-1
Eclipse, we were amazed at the "get up and go" the well-mannered
little plastic pocket rocket boasted. Apparently; some of North
America's most prestigious flight schools agree with that
sentiment. For example, Diamond Aircraft has just announced the
purchase of six DA20-C1 Eclipse aircraft for the flight training
program at Moncton Flight College.
The aircraft will be delivered to the New Brunswick college
before the start of the fall semester. Diamond Aircraft and Moncton
Flight College view this partnership as the start of a long
relationship to further expand quality flight training.
"We are proud to have a flight training partnership with yet
another Canadian flight school," said John Gauch, Diamond’s
Vice President of Sales & Marketing. There are well over
200 of the Teledyne Continental powered two seaters in training
use, including with the United States Air Force Academy, United
States Naval Academy and flightschools throughout Canada, United
States, Australasia and Europe.
Moncton Flight College’s history extends back to
1929. The college is dedicated to producing aviation
professionals ready and qualified for the aviation industry.
The program currently has 110 students.
"The acquisition of new
Diamond Aircraft is a significant part of the major expansion we
are starting here in Moncton," said Mike Doiron, CEO/Principal of
Moncton Flight College. Diamond is a leading aircraft manufacturer
offering a full line of flight training and recreational aircraft
-- and has been kicking up some MAJOR dust with a series of
exciting product announcements that are undoubtedly going to be
shaking up the GA market over the next few years.
