Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N29NB, is a 1987-built 1125 WESTWIND ASTRA with manufacturer's serial number 13. The jet is recorded as owned by PPP AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE, US, and carries a United States registration (US). The aircraft's listing and broker materials note a recent interior refresh and avionics retrofits that influence market valuation; the airframe is currently valued at $895,000. Operational history in public data is limited to registry and broker entries, with the most notable recent change being the 2024 interior refresh cited in the broker listing.
The cabin is configured as an executive layout with club seating for six to nine passengers and a forward galley plus a full‑width aft lavatory; broker materials specifically cite a post‑2024 interior refresh that documents a seven‑passenger executive arrangement. Avionics have been upgraded in a ProLine‑style fit with dual UNS‑1 FMS capable of WAAS/LPV approaches, Honeywell EGPWS, TCAS II and Collins weather/radar integration according to the broker retrofit listing. Typical missions for this airframe would include medium‑range corporate and charter flights up to the 3,110 nm ferry/mission envelope at cruise speeds near 450 kts and altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the TFE731 powerplant support network and the aged‑airframe inspection regime appropriate for a 1987 airframe.
The Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 WESTWIND ASTRA occupies a light‑to‑midsize business‑jet niche offering transcontinental range and efficient twin‑rear‑engine cruise performance. Competing platforms in similar missions include later light jets and small midsize cabin aircraft; buyers often weigh modernization of avionics and interiors against airframe age when assessing resale value. For this specific airframe, the avionics retrofit and interior refresh are positive for short‑term marketability, while ongoing maintenance of 1987‑vintage systems and TFE731 engine support remain key considerations for prospective owners and operators.
