Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N108KC, is a 1974-build Dassault Falcon 10 with serial number 8. The airframe is owned by the corporate entity V1VR LLC, located in Wilmington, DE, US, and appears on the US registry under that corporate ownership; registration and corporate ownership are notable actions in its documented history. The airframe’s recorded configuration and registry entries indicate an executive mission profile and an FAA-listed valuation reflecting its age and market condition. The FAA registry notes an 11-seat executive layout and the aircraft’s estimated market value is recorded at $255,000.

The FAA registry describes the cabin as an 11-seat executive layout (per FAA registry — operator-configurable seating), indicating this airframe is configured for corporate passenger transport but may be reconfigured by the operator. Specific avionics fit is not published in the provided data, but the aircraft’s performance figures support typical short- to medium-range corporate missions such as transcontinental hops and regional charters up to its listed range of 1,920 nm at cruise speeds around 454 kts. Based in Wilmington, DE by ownership location, the operator profile implied by corporate ownership suggests operation under typical US Part 91 or charter standards, with maintenance considerations driven by the aircraft’s age and the TFE731 engine series common to late-production light business jets.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies a light business jet niche, offering a combination of relatively high cruise speed and operating ceiling (45,000 ft) for its class, with seating for up to 11 in executive layouts. Competing models historically include other light twins from the same era; demand tends to be from buyers or operators seeking cost-effective vintage Falcons for executive transport or niche charter roles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on lifecycle maintenance of older airframes and engines, parts availability for the Garrett TFE731 series, and the market impact of a low recorded valuation ($255,000) relative to refurbishment and avionics upgrade costs.
