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.
