N20FJ

This entry covers airframe N20FJ, a Dassault-built business jet completed in 1997 with manufacturer's serial number 119. The airframe is a Dassault Falcon 20C registered in the US and currently owned by the corporation Dodson International Parts Inc, located in Rantoul, Kansas. The aircraft is recorded in corporate hands rather than an individual operator; registration records show it configured and registered with 12 seats, and valuation or published condition assessments are not published. There are no additional publicly listed operator changes or notable registry actions beyond the current corporate ownership.

The airframe is fitted with an executive cabin layout typically configured for 10–12 passengers and specifically registered as 12 seats, reflecting its use in corporate transport or parts/asset support roles. Based in Rantoul, Kansas under corporate ownership, typical missions for this airframe would be short- to medium-haul executive or logistics flights within its 1,810 nm range at cruising speeds near 405 kts and operating altitudes up to 42,000 ft. Avionics specifics and interior finish levels for this individual Falcon 20C are not published; maintenance considerations follow legacy jet practice for two CF700-series engines, including inspection cycles and parts support consistent with an airframe of its era. The corporate owner status suggests operation or preservation focused on parts support, fleet utility, or non-scheduled executive use.

The Dassault Falcon 20C occupies a legacy light-to-medium corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for its generation with twin CF700-series turbojets producing about 4,200 lbf each. Competing types historically included other late-1960s to 1970s business jets adapted through refurbishment; buyer and charter demand for Falcon 20 variants tends to favor operators seeking proven simplicity, payload flexibility, or parts acquisition. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 1997-built airframe reflect hands-on support needs for older engine types and airframe lifecycle status, with parts availability and corporate ownership influencing long-term disposition.
