Vol 30 Issue 1,521 March 26, 2026
“Butch…that is an old Jet Commander. If it has 5 windows, it was the original Commander also known as the 1121 Westwind. Those were made at the Aero Commander manufacturing site that used to be at Wiley Post Airport in OKC. They were made between 1960 and 1968. In 1968, the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) acquired the Westwind line and in 1971 stretched them a bit. So if it has 6 windows it’s an 1123 Westwind. Then later they upgraded the engines and designated them the 1124. Those were ahead of their time. Today airworthy ones are worth a fortune. Still considered a Cadillac corporate jet. Later Gulf Stream Areospace, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, bought out Aero Commander. Today they make top-of-the-line Gulf Stream G650. Those are considered the Rolls Royce of corporate jets.” -Gary Henry.
