I learned to fly in trainer manufactured by American Aviation, a small airplane manufacturer in Cleveland Ohio and designed by Jim Bede. The company was eventually bought by Grumman. I was on my cross-country to Erie, Pa, shortly after the acquisition. As I approached the airport, I called in saying "Grumman American Trainer, 5 miles out, landing." About a minute later the controller called back saying, "Your not quite as fast as the Grumman I though you were."
Oh well.
