Obeys Your Every Whim.
Being the most agile, responsive plane in its class is just
the beginning. When Plane & Pilot magazine named the original Grumman-American
Tiger one of the 10 best used general aviation aircraft of all time, they
had this to say, “If you haven’t flown one, you may not understand—but
trust us: There’s nothing that flies quite like a Tiger.” As every
new Tiger owner will tell you, it’s never been more true.
Boasting incredible speed for its size and excellent fuel
efficiency as well as almost aerobatic handling, the Tiger can be admired
on paper, but truly needs to be flown to be appreciated.
