N239CD

This entry covers airframe N239CD, a 1975-built Dassault-Breguet Mystère Falcon 20-F5, serial number 339. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as being owned and operated by ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, a corporation based in Waterford, Michigan. The airframe’s configuration and equipment reflect a corporate/charter mission set typical of late-model Falcon 20 conversions, and its estimated market valuation is $1,400,000, indicating an aging but potentially serviceable asset. Registry records and operator data place the aircraft as a fixed-wing multi-engine asset used from a Michigan base for regional operations.

The cabin of this specific Falcon 20-F5 airframe is configured to accommodate 14 seats, supporting short to medium regional missions consistent with the aircraft’s 1,808 nm range and 405 kts cruise speed. Operated from Waterford, Michigan by ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, typical mission profiles likely include corporate transport, on-demand charter, and cargo/passenger mixed duties within continental U.S. sectors. Avionics and interior specifics are not published in the available data set, but maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the Honeywell TFE731-5BR-2C engines and legacy airframe systems common to 1970s-era Falcon 20 derivatives, with periodic heavy checks influencing utilization and operational availability.

The Dassault-Breguet Mystère Falcon 20-F5 occupies a niche as a rugged, medium-size twin-engine business jet introduced for corporate and commuter use; this airframe’s performance ceiling of 42,000 ft and thrust-rated 4,750 lbf engines reflect that design intent. Competing platforms historically include other light-to-medium business jets of its era; today demand is primarily among operators seeking lower acquisition cost airframes for short-haul charter or freighter conversion. Resale and maintenance considerations for N239CD hinge on remaining structural life, engine time since overhaul, and avionics upgrade status, all factors that inform the stated market value of $1,400,000.
