N818WB

This entry concerns airframe N818WB, an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI-1125A Astra SPX delivered in 1997 with serial number 091. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by NEXT WAVE AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Henderson, NV, US, which appears as the current operator/home base. No additional historical registry transfers are included in the supplied data; the ownership is recorded as belonging to NEXT WAVE AVIATION LLC. Condition and valuation details were not provided in the dataset.

The cabin of N818WB is reported in an executive layout with an aft lavatory; sales materials describe a four-place club and a forward two-place divan, a typical six–nine passenger executive fit, while the aircraft is noted to accommodate up to 14 seats in other configurations. Avionics on sales literature are reported as a Collins Pro Line 4 (ProLine IV) style fit, supporting business transport and IFR operations to the aircraft's maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, derived from performance figures, would include medium- to long-range corporate trips up to 3,065 nm and cruise operations near 450 kts. Based at Henderson, Nevada under NEXT WAVE AVIATION LLC, unique maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on aging 1997-series systems and the two TFE 731-2B engines producing 3,500 lbf each.

The IAI-1125A Astra SPX family occupies a midsize business jet performance niche characterized by transcontinental range and high cruise speeds for its class, exemplified here by 3,065 nm range and 450 kts cruise. Competing considerations in the market include older-generation avionics retrofits, lifecycle support for the TFE 731-2B engines, and seating flexibility up to 14 that can influence resale or charter appeal. For buyers and charter operators, maintenance history, avionics standardization such as the ProLine IV fit, and the airframe’s 1997 manufacture date are primary resale and operational considerations.
