This airframe, registered as N418WA, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1124 Westwind I completed in 1979 with serial number 250. The aircraft is owned by BORGNE ENTERPRISES LLC, an LLC based in New Orleans, LA, US, and is listed on the U.S. registry. The current public valuation for this specific airframe is $359,000, and registry entries indicate standard U.S. registration and ownership data without additional noted transfers or liens. The airframe retains an executive interior and an upgraded avionics suite as reflected in current listings.

The cabin for this specific aircraft is listed in an executive seven-passenger layout with an aft 4-place club, forward single seat and forward 3-place divan configuration. Avionics fitted to this airframe include a Collins EFIS-85/Pro Line suite, a Collins APS-80 autopilot, and a Garmin GNS-530, with a Garmin GTX-345 providing ADS-B IN/OUT as reported. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its fuel-efficient twin TFE731 powerplants and 2,385 nm range, would include medium-to-long stage corporate trips and regional executive transport from its New Orleans operator base. Maintenance considerations pertinent to this Westwind I include management of legacy avionics integration and service of early-generation TFE731 engines consistent with the airframe’s 1979 manufacture date.

The IAI 1124 Westwind I occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche characterized by transcontinental capability at moderate operating cost, with a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft and typical cruise around 424 kts. Competing models historically include early-generation offerings from U.S. and European manufacturers that target similar range and cabin capacity. Buyer demand for late-1970s Westwind I airframes tends to be price-sensitive and focused on buyers willing to invest in avionics upgrades and continuing engine maintenance; the listed value of $359,000 for this airframe reflects both its age and the presence of avionics and interior enhancements.
