Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N123RA, is a Dassault Falcon 20C (Fan Jet Falcon) built in 1966 with manufacturer serial number 30. The airframe has been operated in civil US registry status US and is owned by ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, a corporation based in Waterford, MI, US; this ownership establishes the aircraft primarily as a corporate/charter asset. The airframe’s long service life and corporate ownership imply multiple operational and maintenance cycles typical of aircraft of its vintage. Current valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $300,000, reflecting its age, configuration and engines.

The airframe is configured for 12 seats, consistent with light corporate and small charter transport missions for which this model is commonly used. Cabin layout and avionics fit for this specific tail are not published beyond seating, but the aircraft’s role with ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC suggests utilization on regional and transregional routes within the stated 1,810 nm range and cruise speeds near 405 kts. Typical operations would emphasize point-to-point business or freight-support missions from the owner’s Waterford, Michigan base, with maintenance profiles influenced by the aircraft’s age and the CF700-series turbofan installations. Known aircraft-specific amenities or retrofits are not published for this registration.

The airframe belongs to the Dassault Falcon 20 family, positioned historically as an early corporate twin-jet offering higher cruise speeds and service ceilings for its class. With twin General Electric CF700 series engines producing 4,200 lbf each and a ceiling of 42,000 ft, the type filled a mid-1960s performance niche between smaller light jets and larger business transports. Modern buyer and charter demand for a 1966 Falcon 20C typically factors in engine condition, avionics modernization needs and airframe hours; the recorded value of $300,000 for this airframe reflects these maintenance and resale considerations.
