    Avoid the risk and inconvenience of airline travel. New personal modern “Magic Carpet” creates “freedom break-through”
    LifeStyle Aviation

    ​

    Let’s face it, airline travel is no fun anymore. In fact, it’s downright annoying.  All the security shenanigans, delays, layovers, crowded flights, change fees, snarly gate agents and limited destinations make the airliners something people just endure these days. Then comes the daily reports of terrorism which are enough to prompt any thoughtful frequent traveler to ask the question, “Isn’t there a different way?”

    Well there is… but, the sad fact is 90% of those on the “airline bus” have no idea there is another economical air travel alternative. In fact, they don’t know that there is a way to travel by air and take your dog, your tools, your big shampoo and never even see a TSA agent. It’s completely segregated from the “bus lines” in the main terminal so they just don’t know about it. This alternate means is typically on the other side of the field where there are friendly folks that greet you and the plane is right at the door and you stroll out and get in. Really, no kidding…its a completely different experience.

    DA62 Flying over field

    I’m not talking about the “Jet-Set” crowd paying $3000, $5000 or even $10,000 an hour to fly on a charter jet, I’m talking about private individuals enjoying the freedom and economy of modern aircraft and either piloting the plane themselves or having a qualified pilot on-board to do the flying while training them to enjoy the use of their own plane.

    “We call it the Learn While You Earn program,” says John Armstrong, Founder and President of LifeStyle Aviation. “We introduce busy people to the potential of modern aviation and then team them with management and training services for their aircraft so they can focus on what’s important in their lives. It makes acquiring a personal or private business aircraft make total sense.”

    LifeStyle Aviation may be on to something. Combining the amazing advantages of modern personal aircraft with training services and unique economical ownership models opens up a whole new potential to independent business people, professionals and even retired folks that are looking to enjoy mobility without all the hassles.

    LifeStyle Aviation has just upped the game to a different level with the introduction of a new game changing modern aircraft, the Diamond DA62. This ultra safe, amazingly efficient, incredibly practical SUV of the skies has just arrived on the scene with first deliveries planned the first of 2016. This is the Diamond DA62 Twin Aircraft.

    What’s so special about it? Well, basically everything! Its made of carbon fiber like Formula 1 race cars. The engines are based on a Mercedes diesel engine that burns Jet Fuel and is especially designed for aviation use.  They have proven to be ultra reliable but more importantly, they are fully computer controlled and sip half the fuel of typical aircraft engines.  Its now possible to cruise at over 210 MPH enjoying about the same fuel economy as a typical SUV. This is a big deal and completely changes the economics of personal flight.   The cockpit flight deck is computerized and the digital autopilot makes the use of the plane more like a “Google self-driving vehicle” than a typical aircraft.

    DA40 Flying over ocean

    For those that don’t need 7 seats and a 4 seat cruiser would be a good fit, the company offers a single engine (DA40) and twin engine version (DA42). The single engine version is super economical, popular and often the ideal place for private fliers to start.

    “The latest wave of personal aircraft advances have changed everything.”  says Armstrong,  “We believe if everyone knew how convenient, pleasant and economical it now is to enjoy personal air travel, they would all want to do it.”

    Some people stay away from considering private aviation because they believe its “too hard” to learn to fly.  Well the company has a page on their website entitled “Is Flying Harder than Driving… Are You Kidding Me!” They detail out what it takes to learn,  and why people choose to fly what are the benefits of flying.  A very unique thing they’ve done is to create a corps of “Flying Ambassadors” that are people that are willing to share with new potential pilots all about what it means to have the freedom of personal flight.

    LifeStyle Aviation is in the business of helping people acquire modern aircraft and achieve what they call the “Aviation LifeStyle”.  To accomplish their aim they have assemble dozens of flight schools into the LifeStyle Aviation Network and the group provides turnkey aircraft and services to help people succeed. This includes training and pilot services so folks can choose to be pilots or just have a professional pilot take them in their plane where they want to go.  They didn’t stop there but created the DiamondShare program which provides ownership and membership options in modern aircraft to “make the dollars make sense” they claim.

    If you are a busy professional that travels, an independent business person that values their time and convenience, or anyone that is sick of the airlines and wishing for “a different way” then you should visit this innovative outfit and learn more about the potential of personalized private modern flight.
