The Grumman American AA-5 Traveler was a four-seat general aviation aircraft that brought economical flight training and personal transportation to thousands of pilots during the 1970s. First flown in 1971, it was a low-wing single-engine monoplane powered by a 150-horsepower Lycoming O-320 engine that could seat four occupants. With a cruise speed of 121 knots and spanning 31.5 feet, the aircraft measured just over 22 feet in length. The Traveler was manufactured by Grumman American Aviation, which produced 834 examples between 1971 and 1975.
