This 1978 Grumman/American General AA5A Cheetah (N26743) presents a well-maintained time-building platform with 2,950 total airframe hours and a Lycoming O-320-E2D engine showing just 660 hours since its June 1999 factory overhaul. The aircraft features a basic IFR panel with Garmin GTX-335 ADS-B Out transponder, Narco navigation equipment, and a JPI 4-cylinder EGT/CHT monitor. Recent maintenance includes an annual inspection completed in March 2025, with complete logs since new and no known damage history.

The airframe retains its original paint in very good condition with only minor sporadic hail marks visible under certain lighting, while the interior remains in original utility condition. With 25.5-gallon fuel tanks per side and ADS-B compliance, this Cheetah offers practical cross-country capability. The aircraft is currently located at Madera Municipal Airport (KMAE) in California, where prospective buyers can review additional photos and scanned logs upon request.
