N189RB

This airframe, registered as N189RB, is a Dassault Falcon 20F-5 built in 1972 with serial number 262. It is manufactured by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation) and is currently owned by the corporation Dodson International Parts Inc, based in Rantoul, KS, US. The aircraft is listed on the US civil register and, as noted in available records, carries an estimated market value of $1,400,000. Ownership by a parts-focused corporate entity suggests a role in asset utilization or parts reclamation rather than primary line-charter operations.

The cabin of N189RB is arranged in an 8-9 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, providing typical executive transport accommodations for short- to medium-haul missions. With a nine-seat configuration and the specified galley and lavatory, the aircraft is suited to corporate flight profiles, air taxi, or on-demand charters within its range capability. The twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines support cruise speeds up to 436 kts and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft, enabling efficient regional routings and access to higher flight levels for fuel-efficient cruise. Based in Rantoul, KS, the owner's operational focus and maintenance regime may be influenced by the company’s parts-centric business model and the airframe’s advanced age.

The Falcon 20F-5 represents the mid‑generation Dassault Falcon 20 family, marketed for its transcontinental capability within light-cabin business jet class performance niches. With a range of 2,257 nm and cruise of 436 kts, it competes historically with other light-to-midsize business jets offering similar mission profiles. Market and resale considerations for this specific example include airframe age (built 1972), engine model support for the TFE731 series, and potential value recovery for components given ownership by Dodson International Parts Inc. Maintenance logistics, parts availability, and total ownership cost are primary considerations for buyers assessing an airframe valued at $1,400,000.
