Baltimore groups that have outgrown a light jet, by a passenger or two or by a pile of golf bags, usually move up to a super light jet.
The IAI Westwind II was built from 1980 to 1987. It seats 7 to 10 with a published range of 2,560 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 424 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, 49 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.

Why the IAI Westwind II Fits Baltimore
With 2,560 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as Chicago, Turks and Caicos and Los Angeles, allowing for reserves and routing. Late May is one of the busiest stretches of the year in Baltimore, with the Preakness and the Naval Academy’s Commissioning Week, so call early for those dates.
Jets in this class use BWI Marshall, about nine miles south of downtown, or Martin State Airport in Middle River, about ten miles east, which suits Towson and Hunt Valley. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Baltimore Clients Use the IAI Westwind II
Four golfers with their clubs, or a family with luggage for several weeks, travel comfortably in this class.
Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.
