   DiamondShare™ was inspired and created to provide all pilots an affordable option to have ownership or access to an amazing new modern aircraft so they can achieve their dreams and goals. Our Secret is Sharing. The idea is simple and the implementation is brilliant. By pooling your interest via the DiamondShare™ Share & Save program with up to three other parties you can dramatically reduce your total cost of ownership while enhancing your overall aircraft ownership experience. Also, if you own a business and plan to use your aircraft for some level of business flying, you will be simply amazed at current tax advantages available to help you purchase your aircraft. Owners often experience “Cash Flow Positive Purchases”. Regardless if you are a veteran pilot that owns an aircraft and would like to upgrade or you are a new Private Pilot and want to find a way to own or access an airplane in a way that “makes the dollars make sense”, we encourage you to review the information on DiamondShare.com and then let us know you’d potentially be interested so we can invite you to our next pilot briefing in your area.
