Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N542WC, is an IAI 1125 Westwind Astra (Gulfstream G100) built in 1990 with manufacturer serial 044. It is listed as owned by HMV AVIATION LLC of Elizabethton, TN, US, a limited liability company that appears as the registered operator and home-base interest for the type. The airframe carries a US registration (US) and is recorded with an estimated market value of $2,500,000. Ownership has been consolidated under HMV AVIATION LLC in the aircraft record provided, and the airframe is presented with avionics and cabin fit suited to executive transport.
The cabin for this airframe is fitted in a typical seven-place executive layout and is configurable up to nine seats, including a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory consistent with executive transport missions. Avionics are installed as Collins Pro Line 4 (ProLine IV), supporting IFR and long-range cross-country operations within the aircraft’s performance envelope. With a maximum cruise of 459 kts and a range of 2,949 nm, this particular Westwind Astra is suitable for regional to transcontinental executive missions operated from its owner/operator base in Elizabethton, TN, US. The two Honeywell TFE731-40R engines provide the thrust necessary for high-altitude climb to the service ceiling of 45,000 ft, and typical operational considerations would emphasize engine and avionics lifecycle status given the airframe’s 1990 build year.
This airframe is an example of the Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 Westwind Astra series (marketed also as Gulfstream G100), representing a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet option with executive seating and transcontinental capability. The combination of a nine-seat configuration, a nearly 3,000 nm range, and Pro Line IV avionics defines its appeal for operators seeking an experienced-age light business jet with established systems. The listed value of $2,500,000 frames resale and acquisition considerations for buyers and operators assessing maintenance, avionics upgrades, and engine program status on an airframe built in 1990.
