N270LC

This airframe, N270LC, is an Israel Aircraft Industries Westwind built in 1979, serial number 245. It is currently registered in the United States and owned by MCNUTT AIR PARTNERS LLC of Corsicana, TX, US; acquisition by this LLC represents the most recent documented ownership change. The airframe appears in public listings as a US-registered executive Westwind configured for corporate transport; registry entries and listing notes have highlighted upgraded avionics and optional traffic/weather systems on some records.

The cabin is fitted in an executive layout featuring a forward three-place divan, a forward aft-facing seat, and an aft four-place club, supporting a typical nine-passenger executive complement plus crew in common configurations. Avionics fitted on this airframe include a Collins AP-105 autopilot, dual Collins FD-109 flight directors and a Garmin GNS-530A nav/com stack; some listings for this specific aircraft note TCAS and weather/radar options as reported equipment. Typical operations for this Westwind would be short- to medium-haul corporate and charter missions from its operator base in Corsicana, TX, making use of the airframe’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range while adhering to the maintenance regimes expected for late-1970s-built business jets.

The IAI Westwind 1124 family occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering high cruise speed and long-range capability relative to its era, competing with contemporaries in the light-to-mid-size twin-engine segment. Buyers and charter operators value the Westwind for cost-effective cruise performance and rugged airframe provenance; however, maintenance and parts considerations for a 1979 airframe—plus the specifics of TFE731 engine support and avionics retrofits—are primary factors influencing resale and operational economics. Upgraded nav/com and traffic/weather options, such as those reported for this airframe, can materially affect marketability and mission flexibility.
