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.
