Picked up the DA40 TUNDRA from the Diamond Factory - Day 1 Ferry Flight

Fly with me from Canada to Texas on my ferry flight for Premier Aircraft Sales in one of the ONLY DA40 TUNDRA's in the country!
Day 1 includes Diamond Aircraft factory pickup and crossing the Canadian border for customs at Buffalo, New York. Then a fight with weather to fly westbound and ending up in Lexington, Kentucky for the night.

From a Londoner, it’s cool to see you flying a Diamond. Keep up the awesome content

[@JohnSmith-gb5vg]

Holy Crap the view out of that cockpit 😎👍

[@jeffscott3160]

Stunning view outside AND inside the cockpit!

[@galas455]

Thanks for the ride Hayley.

[@petertarantelli]

Great video…the views on the approach to Lexington did not disappoint! Thanks for taking me along 🤗

[@Rance120]

Great job! Love your relaxed attitude. Safe flying and thanks for sharing!

[@timmartin6410]

"Rusty" Pilot here, flying again after too many decades away. Great to follow the flight, the Diamond is an aircraft I'm hoping to get a few hours in...we'll see. For now it's back in a 172 with CFI, knocking the rust off.

[@santomartinez2011]

THE MUSIC AT THE END OF THE VIDEO SO BEAUTIFUL. LOVE IT.

[@paultaylor9939]

Thanks for sharing all the best and very well documented

[@1fe1f53eg5erfw]

What an incredible flight due to the weather conditions, the landing to the final destination was beautiful with green fields and the sky opening up with the shining sun showing the horizon ahead. It must be an emotion that you feel every time you take off to a different place. It was a great video that I just watched.

[@K8DDD]

Love Diamonds. Nice first day. BTW, thx for answering the question about the Debonair vs Bonanza.

[@joehammond1247]

Many good takeaways from this video regarding flying and avoiding active threatening weather with backup plans and alternate routes pre-planned. Great explanation of the whole process for those wanting to learn all about flying like me. I may never get the opportunity but it sure is fun to learn about it and fly along with fantastic aviators such as yourself!

[@brianm218]

Love this channel - a breath of fresh air.....

[@dkguy8117]

cant wait to see Hayley ferry a DA62 back from CYXU...go girl

[@edgecomb3]

Just watched. It's not hard to spot a class act you would trust with your family. Thank you.

[@flyinandjammin]

So, so jealous. I flew a DA40 once out of Roanoke, VA. Fell in love. Was doing 45-deg 360s with ZERO vertical deviation from the get-go. That WING! Power-off stalls were a dream; power-on with a little wing-drop but not bad. What a joy to fly. You've got a good gig there, young lady.

[@jackhart8435]

Your living my dream Hayley, great videos, keep them coming,and good luck with all your endeavours

[@georgehasler142]

Hello Hayley from Prescott Arizona thank you for sharing this information and nice video with us and as fly safe and please keep making your videos

[@paulm2861]

Great video. I drive by the Diamond plant frequently on my way home from work. I used to enjoy flying DA20s out of YXU after I got my commercial. Keep the blue side up.

[@ehvisuals]

love this and look up to your videos so much! training and have my checkride in a bunch of premiers da40ng's in FL :) the tundra looks sweeeet!

[@N204TA]

In 1996, I got a tour of the Diamond factory, a brief checkout, and then ferried a brand new DA20 Katana to Tucson, AZ. What an adventure!

[@user-zk7gb5on1h]

Beautiful plane and pilot. Love watching dreams well executed ❤

[@markotto1054]

❤❤ so much grace and Beauty!

[@AviatewithNate]

Nice to see another aviation content creator in the London area!😎 Great content, keep it up!

[@scottbeyer101]

As (new) DA40 owner of course this was going to pop up for me. Loved it. It is surprising to me that the Diamond does get slow quickly without power. I am used to the PA28 or C172 sinking vociferously without power (which has its own charm) but this is new fun.

[@berniebrown9115]

Great to see you in a Diamond again

[@hessranch]

Always excellent videos Haley..

[@ashikihsan1946]

Hi Hayley Herberg, So nice to meet you. My congratulations on your successful flying by DA 40 Tundra Airplane from a Diamond Factory. Hayley you proved that you are a wonderful pilot

[@robertofeliciano6201]

Your very soothing to listen too. Great aircraft 😊. Thanks

[@kishka7]

That windshield is AWESOME!!!!

[@klassyedward9718]

This little aircraft has a lot of good stuff built in. Looks like a nice ride too.

[@MLeib56]

Enjoyed the video! Time well spent.

[@bayflight]

Love watching these ferry flights, can't wait to see day 2! Totally relate to what you said about just going to the hotel, offloading footage, and laying in bed after a long day of flying - I never have any energy after flights like that. Doordash and bedtime for me LOL

[@FlywithHayley]

Thanks Stevie!! 😄 exactly lol there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes

[@faithabigail1631]

Haha my friend from flight school sent me this video and I remembered you 🤣 that was me fueling your plane in Charleston, I’m glad I could help! I thought you and your plane were both super cool. :)

[@christianfauber2315]

I second this, I work with her and we thought you were very nice and would love you to come back!!

[@FlywithHayley]

Awe thankyou!! Will definitely have to make Charleston a stop on my future ferrys 😁

[@ammaryassir1980]

I enjoy the videos a lot! also, KLEX is where I did my very first landing, cool to see the pov from another plane

[@galen3406]

great video - enjoyable. Watching from Oregon!

[@Andrico77]

Its the same factory during WW2 where DeHavilland Mosquito bombers were built and prior they repaired Avro Ansons, Lysanders reconnaissance planes and Fleet Finches (trainers). London Ontario Airport also has one of the best airshows in North America!

[@user-mk1rr6cu8m]

Now there is a challenge for Hayley. Fly a Mosquito. I think she would love it.

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

Very interesting. Thanks for that little piece of historical insight.

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!

[@lucianestridge7964]

Loved it. My son lives 3 miles from the bluegrass field. Also Lexington was my first cross country.

[@normanscottsailing480]

Diamond... what a good name for an absolute gem of a plane

[@ebaystars]

sitting in Thailand the land of Smiles and no GA I loved watching this thanks great clip and great audio

[@j.t.oconnell2511]

Welcome to KLEX I’m a 54 year old student pilot. I fly out of KLEX over on the west side. The track you flew over was Keeneland, to your north east I’d the training track at Calumet Farm. Enjoy the bluegrass state.

[@jonathanworthing6278]

Enjoyed your trip, really interesting what you do.

[@lubricator]

Nice flying with you!

[@edwardstephens247]

Good morning Hayley. Hope you have a safe flight.

Interesting aircraft ... love the cockpit and parked next to tanker 69 , ha haa !! Thanks for sharing Haley !

[@downtownbrowne77]

Awesome video. First time here and what a great video. I'll be back for sure. Have a great day!

[@MarkIbsen]

Miss flying the DA40, club took them out of rotation. Thanks for the memories!

[@FromSagansStardust]

I spent a week up there at the Diamond factory to get my mechanics' certification for the DA-20 & -40 back in 2005.

[@jeepman5982]

Hi Hayley. This is the second ferry flight of yours I have followed. I am very much liking your video and the Diamond models. A word of caution for you from my optometrist and a good friend who has retired as a pilot with the US navy. Wear good sunglasses as much as possible. UV affects your eyes as much or more as your skin. With the design of the Diamond, it allows a lot of sunlight to enter. My friend, the pilot, said it was mandatory as a navy pilot for him to wear sunglasses where ever possible because of the risk of eye damage.

[@tomdixon1213]

I understood that pilots should not wear polarized sunglasses but be sure to wear pilot’s sunglasses. If the cockpit has digital instruments as the polarized glasses will greatly obscure the visibility of the instrument cluster. I don’t know if modern instruments have compensated for this.

[@johnmorris7815]

Not true, I’ve been flying for nearly 40 years (career coming to a compulsory end next year) and I never wear sunglasses, the most I’ll do is wear tints if I’m landing or operating into sun but never at any other time.

[@maesc2001]

Always surprised with US VFR pilots claiming to be too high on final, whereas they’ll end up in people’s backyards if they lose their single engine on short final on an ILS glideslope. Here in Europe, flight schools will teach us VFR descents so a to reach the RWY in case of engine failure. Now, when on instruments, clearly you have no choice…

[@danielgproductions1275]

New aviation fanatic sub here from FL, fantastic vid in a great aircraft. Will continue to watch.

Use to deliver a/c for a broker back in the 90's /early 2000's . Some of the funnest flying i've ever done but never got to fly a brand new one from the factory. What a great adventure!!!

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

Wow wee ! What a pretty pilot, she's lovely. Nice personality with an interesting and pleasant presentational style.

[@chrisbeidler162]

Living the dream 😄

[@Tuno85]

DA20 and especially the DA40NG is great plane to fly. I love the autopilot too 🙂

[@tompurvis1261]

This is the first, pre subscriber, video suggested to me. What ever you did with the meta data seems to be working on this one.

[@Vantage79]

You did have some weather that day. That weather did drop a Tornado. Enjoyed the flight.

[@hendwinperdana2494]

Beautiful airplane, what a job 😁

[@user-gl9iz1bp1r]

Not a pilot - but I'm aware of a professional when I see one. A real pro - fun to watch and learn.

[@craigclarke4736]

Beautiful flying and so relaxed. Once done flying to aviation runways, head for those in Milan Hayley, if you get my drift. ;-) Take care.

[@6Sally5]

Nice aircraft with amazing visibility.

Nice job Hayley, not familiar with you but looks like you are living the dream. I will subscribe and I am jealous of the glass and auto pilot. Are you attending Osk Kosh this year?

[@mustanger041]

Diamond makes amazing planes!!! I’m from the Buffalo area and that weather you were flying threw is very typical lol! Btw I noticed your pitot heat was off! 😮

[@mikekobel]

really enjoy your videos Hayley. Nicely done. I'm a CFII and MEI in Knoxville TN. Does Premiere need any more ferry pilots?

[@qwesttech1]

You a an absolute doll!

Beautiful Pilot!!! Keep the blue side up! I am now a subscriber...

[@jackrolfson312]

New subscriber fun to watch. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@peredavi]

Cool airplane. I didn’t know about Diamond Tundra. I have large tires and gravel guards on my Cessna 206. I land at BLM and foret service airstrips in Montana, Idaho and Utah. “I have an autopilot!😂” i felt the same way with my C206. First personal plane I’ve owned with autopilot. The Boeing’s I flew had it. Not the Beech 1900 at my second commuter job.😢 Never turn down a few extra gallons of fuel. Can only have too much if you’re on fire!😂

[@RedvansChan]

Thats a very nice looking pit

[@dsinha99]

Hayley, you're such a fun person to fly with :) Love the smile and cool confident attitude. How long have you been flying?

It’s been a little over 4 years now!
