This is a well-presented and highly regarded example of the American General (Grumman) AG-5B Tiger, combining responsive handling, efficient cruise performance and practical four-seat touring capability.
The aircraft has been regularly flown and carefully maintained, and benefits from low engine hours since overhaul. Fresh from its annual inspection and with a current Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC) issued following a full physical inspection, this is a clean, turnkey aircraft ready for immediate use.
Aircraft Details:
- Exterior: White with blue trim
- Airframe Time: 4,546 hours
- Engine: Lycoming O-360-A4K, 180 hp
- Engine Time: 396 hours since full McLaren overhaul
- Airworthiness: Certificate of Airworthiness and current ARC
Performance: The AG-5B Tiger offers an excellent balance of performance and operating efficiency, with a cruise speed of approximately 125 knots at 10 USG/hr at low level and un-leaned. At altitude and correctly leaned, fuel consumption reduces to approximately 8–9 USG/hr. A climb propeller is fitted, further enhancing the aircraft’s short-field performance.
Ownership & Maintenance: The aircraft has been owned and operated by its current owner for the past eight years, during which time it has been hangared and maintained to a high standard. This is a reluctant sale of a much-enjoyed aircraft and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a capable, efficient and engaging four-seat tourer with low engine time.
