N26BD

This airframe, registered as N26BD, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1125 Westwind Astra completed in 1992 with serial number 062. The airframe appears in US registry and is registered to ARKANSAS BOLT CO, a corporation based in Little Rock, Arkansas, US, which serves as the documented owner and likely operator/home base. No intermediate owners or notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data; the provided record focuses on a corporate-operated executive configuration. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The aircraft is fitted in a typical executive "club-and-a-half" arrangement accommodating 6–9 passengers with a forward galley and a full-width aft lavatory; the cabin measures approximately 17 ft long, 4.8–4.9 ft wide, and 5.6 ft high, supporting comfortable transcontinental and long overwater segments. With a long-range capability of 3,112 nm and a high cruise speed of 450 kts, mission profiles for this airframe commonly include corporate point-to-point charters, cross-country executive travel, and ferry or reposition flights from a corporate base in Little Rock. Avionics fit is not specified in the data provided; routine operations and maintenance considerations therefore center on the twin TFE731-series turbofan engines and the type’s documented system architecture. The full-width aft lavatory and forward galley underscore a focus on passenger comfort for extended flights.

The IAI 1125 Westwind Astra family occupies a mid-size long-range business jet niche characterized by efficient twin TFE731 powerplants, transcontinental range, and speed near 450 kts—well suited to corporate flight departments. Competing models in the same market segment historically include late-model light-to-mid-size business jets offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand typically targets corporate operators seeking cabin comfort and range for domestic and regional international missions. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 1992 serial 062 airframe emphasize engine program status, avionics modernization, and overall cabin refurbishment when placed back on the market.
