N164GB

This article concerns airframe N164GB, a Dassault-built Falcon 50 delivered in 1986 with manufacturer serial number 164. The jet is a product of Dassault Aviation and is currently owned by NEWCASTLE CAPITAL GROUP LLC, a corporate entity based in Dallas, TX, US, operating under a United States registration (US). The airframe’s valuation is recorded at $3,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration in the corporate light long-range category. Registration and ownership have remained corporate in nature, with the Dallas location serving as the principal operator/home base for the asset.

The cabin of N164GB is fitted in a typical executive layout for 8–10 passengers, configured for two flight crew plus corporate seating and designed to support long-range corporate missions. With a published range of 3,500 nm and a cruise speed of 479 kts, the Falcon 50 airframe is well suited to transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point flights from its Dallas operating base. The tri-engine TFE731 powerplant arrangement influences maintenance planning and inspection cycles compared with twinjet designs, and parts/overhaul logistics are a routine consideration for operators of this generation. Interior amenities and specific avionics fit for this serial are corporate-standard; detailed avionics equipment listings for this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies a niche as a long-range, midsize tri-jet from the 1980s offering high-speed cruise and elevated service ceiling (49,000 ft) relative to many contemporaries. Its three-engine layout combined with a 3,500 nm range made it attractive for operators requiring overwater capability and redundancy in the pre-twinjet-performance era. In the current market, older Falcons like N164GB compete for buyers seeking proven long-range capability at lower acquisition cost, while maintenance, parts availability, and the airframe’s $3,000,000 valuation are key considerations for resale and continued corporate operation.
