RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1KT is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the IAI 1124 Westwind on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N1KT's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N1KT

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1KT, is an Israel Aircraft Industries IAI 1124 Westwind built in 1978 with manufacturer serial number 230. The airframe is listed on the U.S. registry and is owned by Ekfj LLC, an LLC based in Waco, Texas, which serves as the operator and home base for the type's activities under U.S. registration. There are no additional public entries of notable registry actions beyond the current U.S. registration and the recorded ownership by Ekfj LLC.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Westwind is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating seven to ten passengers, with a forward galley/refreshment area and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting short to medium-haul business missions and corporate shuttle duties. Typical mission profiles for the airframe include transcontinental and regional business trips within the aircraft’s 2,908 nm range and cruise speed of 390 kts, operating out of its home base in Waco, Texas. No detailed avionics fit or modifications are published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations are those common to late-1970s airframes powered by Garrett TFE731 series turbofans, with operator maintenance and parts availability driven by aftermarket support for the model. The current ownership by Ekfj LLC suggests continued private/corporate operation rather than commercial charter use.

Model & Market Context

The IAI 1124 Westwind occupies a mid-size twinjet executive niche, offering crews and passengers long-range capability and high-altitude performance to 45,000 ft with relatively modest operating weights. Competing types in the same era and mission profile include early Learjet and Hawker business jets that emphasize speed and range; the Westwind balances cabin accommodation for up to 10 with efficient Garrett TFE731 powerplants.
