About the Grumman AA-5B Tiger
The Grumman AA-5B Tiger is the fast, fun four-seater of the family — a 180 hp low-wing single that cruises around 140 kt on modest fuel, with light, responsive controls and a distinctive sliding canopy. Bonded-aluminium construction keeps it slick and light. The Tiger is one of the best speed- and fun-per-dollar four-seaters in the fixed-gear class, competing with the Cessna 172/177 and Piper Archer.
Produced 1975–1979.
