Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N15VX is a 1985-built Dassault Falcon 50 (manufacturer: Dassault Aviation) with serial number 158. The airframe is owned by TVPX ARS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. This specific Falcon 50 reflects a mid-1980s production example of the type and carries a reported market valuation of $2,195,000. Notable registry activity includes its corporate ownership by a trustee entity, with the aircraft recorded under that trust and operated from the owner’s home base in North Salt Lake.

This individual Falcon 50 is typically configured for transcontinental business and private transport missions, leveraging the airframe’s three-engine redundancy and long-range capability to serve city-to-city routes without refueling across much of the continental United States. Cabin layout and exact seating count for this airframe are not published in the provided data, but Falcon 50 interiors of this vintage commonly feature executive seating, divans, and a compact galley. Avionics fit for this specific serial is not detailed here; however, maintenance considerations for a 1985 airframe include lifecycle inspections for airframe and engines and potential avionics upgrades to meet contemporary airspace requirements. The corporate trustee ownership suggests the aircraft is operated under a corporate flight department or on-demand charter oversight tied to the owner’s administrative base in North Salt Lake.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a mid-size, long-range niche, offering intercontinental capability with three-engine reliability that was especially valued in the 1980s. Competing models include other long-range midsize business jets of the era; modern buyers often compare refurbishment, avionics modernization costs, and engine overhaul status against purchase price. At a reported value of $2,195,000, resale considerations for this 1985 airframe hinge on total time, component life limits, and documented maintenance history, while demand typically comes from corporate trustees, charter operators, and buyers seeking proven long-range performance with potential for modernization.
