Looking to sell my Grumman AA5A Cheetah. A great aircraft that I have have spent a ton of time flying over the past 2+ years (300+ hours). Great aircraft, performs well, a well equipped panel, great paint, all LED lights, the list goes on. Roll the canopy back for some fun in the sun or fly it IFR it works equally well in both roles. Have had a blast in this plane, but my mission is changing and I require a little bit more useful load and speed. I would wager (a bit biased) but its probably one of the best AA5A's on the market.

Nice plane and appears to be nicely maintained too. For those of you looking ... it's a hot market. Don't hesitate, get a conversation started with the seller before someone else does.
 
There’s a school in Decatur Al thats specializes in training in Grumman aircraft. LearjetJohn Aviation ph:256-777-8625
 
Saw it on TAP and Wing Swap. Love it. Wish I was ready to buy.
 
Nice Bird. Amazing how much these planes have gone up in value.
