N3LH

This entry covers airframe N3LH, a United States-registered Israel Aircraft Industries-built business jet of type Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Westwind Astra with serial 037. The airframe is currently held by SILVERSTAR PARTNERS LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US, which appears as the listed owner on U.S. registry records; no prior ownership chain is published here. The aircraft operates in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and is recorded in U.S. civil registers; notable registry actions beyond current registration are not published. Valuation records place this specific airframe at $895,000, reflecting a market-assessed condition and age profile for its model series.

The cabin of this Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Westwind Astra airframe conforms to the common executive arrangement for Astra/G100 SPX variants, typically a 6–9 passenger layout with a forward galley and a full-width aft lavatory; for this specific aircraft the configuration is reported as a typical 6–9 executive layout. As a twin-TFE731 installation, the jet supports high-speed short- to medium-range missions — commonly business travel, owner-operator transport, and on-demand charter work — from its Houston base. Avionics fit is not published here; routine operations and maintenance considerations for the type generally emphasize engine hot-section inspections and aging-airframe corrosion checks, which prospective operators should verify against this airframe’s logbooks. The aircraft’s U.S. registration and LLC ownership structure suggest use under corporate control or light charter operation.

The Westwind Astra family occupies a performance niche between light and mid-size business jets, offering transcontinental range near 2,390 nm and high cruise speeds around 450 kts. Competing types historically include later light-cabin jets with improved fuel efficiency and modern avionics; demand tends to be driven by buyers seeking speed and range at lower acquisition prices. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on part availability for TFE731 series engines, inspection status of the airframe’s systems, and the certified interior configuration when assessing the $895,000 market valuation.
