N777HD

This article concerns airframe N777HD, an Israel Aircraft Industries 1124A Westwind II built in 1983 with serial number 397. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by BWA WESTWIND 2 LLC, an Orlando, Florida–based limited liability company; the registry lists a total of 12 seats. Operator and home-base specifics beyond the owner’s location are not published in the supplied data. The Westwind II’s age and serial identification are notable for tracking maintenance cycles and valuation benchmarks within the late-model IAI Westwind fleet.

The cabin is configured for two crew and, per registry entry, 12 seats, while typical executive layouts for this model accommodate seven to ten passengers; this implies the airframe may be fitted with a high-density or corporate interior depending on operator mission requirements. As a corporate/multi-role fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, missions commonly include executive transport, private charter, and medium-range repositioning flights up to its published 2,390 nautical mile range and cruise at 390 knots. Based in Orlando by owner designation, the aircraft’s operational considerations include age-related maintenance tracking for a 1983-built airframe and adherence to US registry maintenance standards. The twin TFE731 engines rated at 3,700 lbf each are typical for the type’s performance envelope and factor into economics such as fuel burn and time-between-overhaul planning.

The Israel Aircraft Industries 1124A Westwind II occupies a niche as a long-established light-to-midsize business jet offering transcontinental range and altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Competing models in similar missions include late-model light jets and early midsize jets from manufacturers offering newer avionics and cabin amenities. Buyer and charter demand for a 1983 Westwind II like N777HD is influenced by its maintenance history, refurbishment state, and interior configuration (executive 7–10 vs. registry-listed 12 seats), all key factors in resale and operational valuation.
