1979 Grumman American AA-5A Cheetah

Description A very nice example of the pleasant Grumman AA5A is reluctantly for sale due to loss of medical. The Cheetahs are the most sought after of the Grumman AA5 breed and if you have ever flown an AA5 you are instantly hooked. In addition this plane has the 160hp conversion with the big long range tanks and a good 6hours range plus reserves. No AA5 gets you further in one go. And if you don't need the range, it is still nice to fill up your tanks at places that are cheaper on fuel. Albeit the owner can't fly in command any more, the airplane is still flown regularly with a safety pilot so times might change. The plane is advertised elsewhere and will be taken offline here when sold.
