Nice video.  Thank you for bringing this aircraft to my attention!  I have a personal attachment to this little plane.

 

I received pilot training and got my Private Pilot ticket in the two-place Grumman American AA-1A Trainer (many, many years ago).  The AA-1A looked and flew exactly like this AA-5.  My active-duty USAF C-5 pilot instructor really put me through my paces in this aircraft, including instrument approaches in real IFR weather.  I was years away from instrument certification but he wanted to ensure that I was prepared for anything.

 

I've flown many types of aircraft since but flying the little Grumman was the most fun of any of them.

After checking it out at the store, something about it just doesn't look right. My instructor used to own one, and I have 17.9 hours in it.

His was a late model Traveller, almost a Cheetah, but still a Traveller.
