Westwind II For Sale

Westwind II Ownership Overview

Many customers searching for a Westwind II for sale find the aircraft incomparably useful for medical and cargo transports in addition to normal operation trips for travelers. The 1980s saw the beginning of production for the Westwind family, with the improvements that created the Westwind II occurring shortly after production began. Production of the type was short-lived as Israel Aircraft Industries closed the production line in 1987 with just over 440 of the family created.

Westwind II Cabin Experience

The Westwind II is capable of transporting 7 passengers with 2 crew members. The aircraft has an aft-lavatory placed near end of the 52ft long fuselage. The wingspan reaches nearly 45ft.

Its low main door appeals to the medical sector due to easy on-loading and off-loading. Additional to the appeal of the main door, the inside of the cabin has been crafted around passenger comfort, a main point being the location of the engines at the rear of the aircraft which create a quieter atmosphere inside.

Inside, there’s more space for passengers to move around when compared to similar aircraft such as a Citation or Learjet. Luggage has nearly 50 cubic feet of space in the Westwind II, while the main cabin provides travelers with nearly 150 cubic feet of room, paired with an additional 150 cubic feet for other spaces such as the lavatory and galley. Each person typically has just over 21 cubic feet of space at capacity. The cabin is nearly 16ft long and just under 5ft for both height and width.

Westwind II Mission Profile

Customers who buy a Westwind II tend to place their focus on the cabin space and what it provides for their needs, whether its the low front door or ample space for passengers or freight. The reduced noise in the main cabin provides those with a more appealing ride and the ability for the cargo space to hold nearly 1,000lbs is also a highlight.

This aircraft also has the ability to conduct quality short-field landings. Those who don’t intend to fly frequently every year also find the Westwind II appealing as the maintenance schedule is based off of flight hours rather than the calendar intervals aircraft owners typically witness. The mid-fuselage located wings also aid in making the ride a smooth one. These positive aspects for quality of ride and variety of travel opportunities make up for the aesthetic which may not be pleasing to some buyers.
