N127PT

This entry covers airframe N127PT, an IAI 1124A Westwind II built in 1981 with manufacturer's serial number 337. The aircraft has been registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by N325NW LLC, a limited liability company based in Lodi, Ohio, US. Registry records indicate U.S. registration and typical corporate ownership rather than individual or flight‑department operation; the airframe is listed with an estimated market value of $470,000, reflecting its age and installed systems at the time of valuation. Notable registry actions primarily reflect the transfer to the current LLC owner and standard U.S. registration status.

The configured capacity of 12 seats positions N127PT for corporate shuttle, group charter, or owner‑flown long‑range business missions consistent with the Westwind II’s role. With a maximum cruise of 424 knots and a range of 2,390 nautical miles, typical use profiles would include transcontinental U.S. flights and medium‑range international hops when operating from its U.S. base. The airframe’s twin TFE731‑3 turbofan engines provide the thrust required for operations up to a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, which supports efficient high‑altitude cruise and favorable fuel flows. Cabin layout, avionics fit and specific amenities are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations center on legacy systems typical of a 1981 Westwind II and life‑cycle support for Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 series engines.

The IAI 1124A Westwind II occupies a niche as a compact mid‑size business jet from the early 1980s offering high cruise speeds and transcontinental range for its class. Competing models historically include light to mid‑size business jets with similar twin‑engine layouts; buyer demand for vintage Westwind IIs is often driven by cost‑conscious operators seeking capable long‑range performance at lower acquisition prices. Resale and maintenance considerations for N127PT reflect its 1981 manufacture date, serial 337, and the economics of aging airframes—manifest in the recorded market valuation of $470,000 and the ongoing need for specialized support for legacy avionics and engine overhauls.
