Grumman American AA1A
The Grumman is a vintage aircraft still flying today. The best thing about the Grumman is not only it’s handling characteristics but the price. A used Grumman can be bought in today’s market for as little as $16,000. The late 60s models with a nice six pack avionics panel. Low purchase price also translate into low maintenance cost for this airplane. It uses a similar Lycoming engine as the Cessna 150, thus share some of the same performance. Except the Grumman has much better useful load at 1007 pounds.
