Our *new* airplane

Here's our *new-to-us* Grumman Cheetah. Its a 150 hp airplane, 4 seats. I like the sliding canopy as opposed to doors and I love the more sporty feel of the Cheetah compared to the Cessnas I've flown. This airplane is fun to fly! We purchased it from someone in Phoenix and the airplane had been in his family since new. His parents purchased it but never finished their training. So the son used it to get his pilot license. He's finished with it now and was ready to part with it. He's an auto mechanic and so he has kept the airplane in impeccable condition and all the records are very neatly arranged in binders. The airplane is clean and comfortable.
