N331SK

This airframe, registered as N331SK, is an Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Astra SP built in 1992 with serial number 063. It is owned by D & E AVIATION LLC, a Montana-based corporation located in Missoula, MT, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The aircraft’s documented valuation is $2,000,000, reflecting its market positioning among early-1990s heavy light jets; ownership has been held by the single corporate owner listed in the available data. Registry records indicate continued US registration and operation from the owner’s Missoula base.

The cabin of this specific Astra SP is certified for up to 9 passengers, with model-typical executive layouts commonly configured as a six- to seven-seat “club & a half” arrangement with a forward galley and aft lavatory; this airframe is representative of that configuration. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and this airframe include medium- to long-range executive transport and charter work, leveraging its 2,780 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 414 kts. The owner/operator is based in Missoula, Montana, and operations would generally be consistent with continental US charter and corporate travel. Avionics suite and specific interior finish details are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations follow twin-engine turbofan practices for Garrett TFE731-powered light business jets.

The Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Astra SP occupies a performance niche as a heavy light jet offering transcontinental range, relatively high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models historically include other late-1980s to 1990s small-to-midsize business jets offering similar seat counts and range. Buyer demand for well-maintained Astra SP airframes tends to focus on operators seeking economical long-range capability in a small-footprint cabin; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time-on-wing for the Garrett TFE731 series and airframe corrosion and systems upgrades typical of early-1990s production aircraft.
