N695DS has been a 5-owner aircraft with the current owner having lovingly cared for it the past three years. Since 2013, with the past 2 owners, it has been based at the same airport. It has been put to great use over that timeframe in a flying club on the field. It has never been part of a traditional flight school fleet and has exclusively served it's owner and the club members on a mix of both training and personal use adventures. The current owner is a professional pilot making a move to New England and sadly cannot justify continued ownership with the associated downsizing necessary for the move. This Diamond Star has been expertly maintained by a Diamond Aircraft Service Center (Dillon's Aviation in Greenville, NC) and features a great track record with no accidents, incidents, or damage history. All logbooks are continuous and complete. It boasts solid engine compressions and is chock full of options and upgrades. N695DS is ready to be seen into the hands of a new owner to continue it's great story.
