N804CC

This article describes airframe N804CC, a 1980-built IAI 1124 Westwind (1124A / Westwind II), serial 305, manufactured by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI). The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by PAPPAS JOHN, an individual based in Cave Junction, Oregon; this ownership and home-base detail are the principal notable registry entries associated with the aircraft. Valuation records list the airframe at $738,804, a figure that reflects age, equipment fit and market position for a late-1970s/1980s Westwind II example. No additional operators or prior ownership history are published in the supplied data.

The subject airframe features a typical executive cabin configured for 7–10 places with a forward refreshment center and an aft enclosed lavatory, consistent with corporate transport and light charter use. Avionics fit for this specific aircraft includes Collins navigation and communications equipment, a Universal UNS-1K flight management system (non-WAAS), a Garmin 750, TCAS, and an FD-108 autopilot/flight director installation, providing integrated navigation, traffic awareness and automatic flight control suitable for mixed IFR and corporate mission profiles. With its 2,392 nm range and 420 kt cruise speed, typical missions for this airframe would center on medium-range executive transport and business travel from its operator base in Cave Junction, OR. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft are influenced by its 1980 manufacture year and the specific TFE731-3D-1G engines and avionics suite installed.

The IAI 1124 Westwind (1124A / Westwind II) occupies a niche as a light to mid-size corporate jet offering transcontinental regional capability, combining a modest passenger capacity with a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing aircraft in its era and market segment typically included other late-model light business jets with similar range and seating; buyer demand tends to focus on well-documented maintenance history, avionics modernization and engine program status. For resale and continued operation, considerations for this airframe include airframe age, engine TBO and overhaul records for the TFE731-3D-1G pair, and the non-WAAS UNS-1K FMS which may influence upgrade cost and market appeal.
