Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N816LC, a 1980 build of the Israel Aircraft Industries IAI-1124 Westwind, manufacturer serial number 291. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation MARKLYN JET PARTS LLC, based in Dallas, TX, US; this ownership establishes the aircraft's current operator/administrative home. No other ownership or registry actions are published in the provided data. Condition and valuation details are not published beyond the manufacturer and configuration information given.
The cabin for this specific airframe follows a typical executive layout accommodating 2 crew + 7–10 passengers depending on operator configuration; for this aircraft the published seat count is 10, which is consistent with a seven- to ten-passenger executive interior. Avionics fit and mission equipment are operator dependent and not specified in the supplied data, so standard executive mission profiles—corporate transport, regional business trips, and ferry flights—are the likely operational use. Based in Dallas, TX, US, maintenance considerations for this airframe include support for the Garrett TFE731 engine family and airframe-specific components associated with the IAI-1124 Westwind lineage. Unique cabin amenities are not published for this airframe.
The IAI-1124 Westwind occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high cruise speed relative to turbofan peers of its era; this particular example’s 2,390 nm range and 424 kts cruise reflect that capability. Competing models in the sector typically include other late-1970s and 1980s light business jets powered by similar small turbofan engines. Buyer and charter demand, as well as resale considerations for this airframe, hinge on engine TFE731 maintenance status, airframe hours, and interior refurbishment needs, none of which are detailed in the provided data.
