Can mark another classic aircraft off my Planespotting bucket list!

I finally got to see one of my most favorite private jets fly into Hickory Regional Airport today, the IAI Westwind (IAI 1124A Westwind to be exact)!

Only a few dozen remain in service with this particular one being manufactured in 1981

Yo I was at Hickory this weekend and I think I might have seen it but I’ll have to look through my footage again. I hope I saw it but if I didn’t then I’ll have to go back one day to try and see it

Westwind jets are becoming rare they're a expensive jet to keep flying parts are hard to come by and the avionics in them are outdated in need of a very expensive upgrade to todays standard.
