She continued flying for fun, renting airplanes while working as an Engineer for McDonnell Douglas. She also finished her masters degree in Mechanical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.

The first airplane she purchased was a Pitts S-1C. She flew it for 10 years having a great deal of fun and competing all over the midwest.

The Pitts was sold in 1987 and Diana took time off to raise her three children.

In 2007 Diana started looking for another airplane to buy. The CubCrafters S2 caught her eye, and she purchased one in January 2008 becoming a CubCrafters partner.
