Grumman American AA-1B Trainer  N9881L           (c/n  AA1B-0481)

                                

                                   Grumman Aircraft acquired American Aviation in 1971, renamed it Grumman American Aviation
                                   and in late 1972 sold the 1973 model year design as the Grumman American AA-1B Trainer.  It
                                   was originally designed as an ab initio trainer for flight schools, although I believe the above
                                   example, seen at Lodi Airport, California in 1990 was privately owned.  N9881L was a 1974
                                   model and was one of 680 of this model built.    Many survive today (2022).
