Israeli Aircraft
Industries 1124A Westwind 2
N407W
(c/n 407)
In 1996 I took a "memory lane" trip to most of the airports in the L.A.
region that I had frequented
forty years earlier when I lived in Los Angeles. The above shot
was at Hawthorne Municipal
and I had to talk nicely to a security guard, just to get in! In
"my day" I merely walked through the
gate which was one block from my house!
Anyway, in 1979 Israeli Aircraft updated the model 1124 with the
inclusion of winglets on the
tip fuel
tanks, and called it the Westwind 2. N407W was still in
service in late 2021.
