Grumman AA-1 Yankee Clipper Aircraft

The Grumman AA-1 Yankee Clipper is a small two-seat low-wing aircraft for buyers who want simple, lively personal flying in a distinctive Grumman package. It is not a heavy trainer or family traveler; useful load, runway needs, and pilot fit must be realistic. Compared with a Cessna 150, the AA-1 feels sportier and less conventional; compared with AA-5 family aircraft, it is smaller and more limited.
