Thanks! It's a Cheetah. The Tiger and Cheetah are nearly identical other than the engine. But it's whatever you want to call it, tower thinks its a Cherokee, my hangar neighbors think it's an RV.

Where does it live? I have a reason for asking.

So, yesterday, I'm at my home field (GAI) and the hangar opposite the one I use opens, and there is a Grumman....identical to yours. Well...almost.
The angle I was standing to the hangar was exactly the same as your shot. And I had this weird moment where I hold up my phone to see the picture you posted here, and compared it to what I was seeing. It was this weird juxtaposition like JC had suddenly and surprisingly jumped into meatspace-reality.
Closer inspection showed that this one wasn't quite as clean, and in fact it had the little Tiger badge on the rudder, but couldn't see that at first from the angle.
I really wondered if it was yours for a few minutes.

It's a fairly common color / paint scheme for the AA5A, AA5B series. I'm not a fan of the Cheetah or Tiger decal, I guess it makes it easier to differentiate between the two, though.
Work and play...errr I mean essential travel tool:

Yes, the pitfalls and advice was dependent on which model and year range you're looking at.

That's @Screaming_Emu's first 747.JB MDL. The military invited 30 local bugsmashers for some tutoring. Great time was had at the base. When I asked a RAPCON guy how low can he see me in certain area he said 400 feet

Easiest way to fix a flat nose gear.
I'd be lying if I said I had never seen that technique used to put the wheel on the centerline in the parking area.

@A80TRACON It's a nice feeling touching down where there isn't sand blowing...
