The Grumman American AA-1 series is a family of light, two-seat aircraft. The family includes the original American Aviation AA-1 Yankee and AA-1A Trainer along with the TR-2. The TR-2 has a cruise propeller and the trainer has a climb prop. Typically the TR-2 came with more navigation instruments and was better for cross country flying because of its speed and lower fuel consumption. The family also includes the Grumman American AA-1B Trainer and TR-2, plus the Gulfstream American AA-1C Lynx and T-Cat.
