N98HG

This individual airframe is registered as N98HG, a IAI 1124A Westwind II built by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) in 1983 with manufacturer serial number 394. Ownership timeline not published. The aircraft carries United States registration (US) and is identified in registry entries by its tail number N98HG; notable registry actions and detailed valuation or condition highlights are not published for this specific airframe. As a single example of the Westwind II family, its documented characteristics (year, serial, registration) are central to status and tracking in regulatory and secondary-market records.

The cabin of this Westwind II is consistent with a typical executive layout, accommodating 2 crew + 7–10 passengers, suitable for corporate transport or small-group executive missions. With a published range of 2,560 nm and a cruise speed near 424 kts, the airframe is typically employed on medium- to long-range regional flights linking business centers without en route stops. Specific avionics fit, onboard amenities and exact interior specifications for N98HG are not published; consequently, configuration and outfitting must be confirmed from owner or maintenance records. As a 1983-built airframe, routine maintenance, fatigue inspections and systems retrofits are considerations for operators and lessees; detailed maintenance history and current condition for this tail number are not published.

The IAI 1124A Westwind II occupies the light-to-midsize executive jet niche, offering transcontinental regional performance with a high-altitude ceiling (45,000 ft) and a relatively long ferry range (2,560 nm) for its class. Typical competitors include other light business jets of the era and subsequent upgrades that offer more modern avionics and efficiency; buyer and charter demand for an individual airframe like N98HG depends heavily on maintenance records, interior condition and avionics upgrades. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on its 1983 build date and serial-specific history (serial 394), with lifecycle costs influenced by engine TBOs and systems modernization for the Honeywell TFE731-3 installation.
