The Grumman American AA-5 is a four-seat light aircraft designed for private use, touring, and flight training. Introduced in the early 1970s, it combined efficient aerodynamics with a unique bonded aluminum structure, reducing rivet use and simplifying construction. The aircraft features a wide sliding canopy and responsive controls, giving pilots a sporty and open-cockpit-like flying experience. Variants like the Cheetah and Tiger offered upgraded engines and improved cruise performance. The AA-5 remains a favorite among pilots looking for a low-cost, fun-to-fly alternative to more traditional trainers.
