Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N962A, is an IAI 1125 Westwind Astra built in 1989 with manufacturer serial 031. The aircraft is listed as owned by D & E AVIATION LLC of Missoula, MT, US, and operates in the United States under a US registration in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. No public record of multiple prior owners or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data; the airframe valuation is reported as $895,000. The aircraft’s relatively mature build year and single documented owner inform its market positioning and condition assessment based on available information.
The airframe is typically outfitted with a 9-passenger executive cabin as standard for the IAI 1125 Westwind Astra family; exact interior specification for this specific airframe is not available. Operationally, the twin Honeywell TFE731-3C engines and a cruise of 450 kts enable medium- to long-range executive missions within the aircraft’s 3,110 nm capability, suitable for point-to-point corporate or private transport from its operator base in Missoula, MT, US. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for this registration are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations would reflect the aircraft’s age and the TFE731 engine family service requirements.
The IAI 1125 Westwind Astra occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche emphasizing transcontinental range with efficient twin turbofan propulsion and high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft. Competing models in this performance bracket commonly appeal to private owners and small charter operators who value range and speed over ultramodern cabin systems. Given the airframe’s 1989 build year and reported valuation of $895,000, prospective buyers or operators should factor in age-related maintenance, avionics upgrades, and resale liquidity when assessing lifecycle cost and market demand.
