HERE'S HOW A FIGHTER/TRAINER IS DIFFERENT:

It may be the only airplane in the world


that meets the needs of three people with
different requirements the student, the
-
flight school operator, and the cross
,i country pilot. The fact that it fights/or
speed and fights agarnsl high operating
costs is important to all. After all, for
a truly simple airplane, no one needs
g'
*.,. doors to adjust, oleo struts to leak, and
rivets all over to slorv you down. The
'l fact that it is fast, yet more stable than
ever, means that the student can make
his transition to bigger singles sooner and
easier, and that the school operator will
have trainers that are as attractive for
, t. rentals as for training. Want more) Both
come from the world's newest and most
modern "private fighter factory" where
they roll out alongside the famous
Grumman Gulfstream II, the new twin
engine Cougar, plus a new Tiger and
:1fuf,
* the new Cheetah. Lynx from Crumman
American, now the third largest single
engine manufacturer in the world.
