Model & Market Context

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N123RC, a factory-built IAI 1124A Westwind II completed in 1981 with serial number 349. The airframe is currently owned by BWA WESTWIND 2 LLC, a corporate owner based in Orlando, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry actions include its continued U.S. registration under corporate ownership; ownership transferred to BWA WESTWIND 2 LLC is recorded in available data. Valuation records list the airframe at $753,099, reflecting its vintage, configuration, and market position.

The interior of N123RC is configured in an eight-passenger executive layout with five individual cabin chairs and a three-place divan, a forward slimline galley, and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting typical corporate or charter missions of short- to mid‑long-range executive transport. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is described in marketplace listings as Collins-series instrumentation with a Universal UNS-1E FMS, a Collins APS-80 autopilot, and a Collins comm/nav suite, providing navigation and automation capabilities aligned with legacy business-jet operations. Based out of Orlando, FL, US by corporate ownership, typical operations would include interstate and international trips within the aircraft’s 2,390 nm capability; maintenance considerations reflect the older airframe year and TFE731-3 series powerplants, which require operator adherence to established overhaul and service bullet programs.

The IAI 1124A Westwind II occupies a light to mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high-altitude capability up to 45,000 ft while cruising near 390 kts. Competing models in its era and segment include contemporary light jets with similar capacity and range; buyer and charter demand often skews toward well-maintained examples with updated avionics like the Universal UNS-1E FMS. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1981 manufacture date, cumulative hours and cycles (not published), and the ongoing availability of parts and overhaul services for the Garrett / Honeywell TFE731-3 engines.
