N711KE

This airframe, registered as N711KE, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1124 Westwind I completed in 1980 with manufacturer's serial 288. Ownership is held by N711Ke LLC (an LLC), and the jet is registered in the US; ownership is recorded under that single LLC name in current listings. The airframe is noted in contemporary market data with an estimated value of $326,944, reflecting its age and configuration. No additional operator/home-base data are published for this specific registration in the supplied dataset.

The cabin is fitted in an executive 8-passenger layout with a four-seat club configuration and a three-place divan reported in some configurations, indicating flexibility for corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are listed as a Collins ProLine/Fd-109 style suite with multiple Collins radios and dual FMS reported in listings, supporting IFR cross-country and charter-style operations. Typical mission profiles enabled by the airframe’s 2,150 nm range and 420 kts cruise speed include transcontinental business hops and shuttle-type point-to-point charters within continental ranges. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1980 build year and older-generation engines and avionics, with value and operability influenced by refurbishment state and avionics modernization status.

The IAI 1124 Westwind I occupies a light business jet niche characterized by modest cabin size, transcontinental range for its era, and twin TFE731 powerplants producing 3,700 lbf each. Competing models historically include early-model Learjets and light Gulfstreams in entry-level corporate roles; buyer and charter demand typically favors well-maintained examples with upgraded avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on airframe hours, engine service life, and any avionics upgrades beyond the listed Collins ProLine/Fd-109 suite; the listed market value of $326,944 signals a legacy jet where refurbishment or part-out decisions are common.
