N25ST

This airframe, registered as N25ST, is a Dassault-built Falcon 10 / Falcon 100 completed in 1982 with manufacturer's serial number 198. The current recorded owner is LEWIS GARRY L, an individual based in Livingston, LA, US; the entry in the US registry shows the aircraft operated from that address and retained in private ownership. The jet has the characteristic age-related profile of early 1980s Falcons, with registry and market listings indicating a low residual value of $255,000, reflecting airframe age, avionics retrofits and maintenance status. Ownership remained in private hands rather than corporate fleet operation, and there are no public records of notable incident-related registry actions for this specific tail number.

The aircraft is configured for two flight crewmembers plus an executive cabin; although the factory cabin plan and many operators typically fit 6–8 passengers, the current registry lists up to 11 seats, indicating flexible interior layouts or an elevated seating count for ferry/utility use. Avionics on this airframe fall into the common mix for early Falcons, with Various Collins-era suites / ProLine-era avionics noted as typical retrofit paths; exact fitment can vary and influences operational capability and inspection requirements. Typical missions for this airframe class and registry usage include short- to medium-range executive transport and owner-flown business trips from its Livingston, LA base, with maintenance considerations focused on older turbofan overhauls, avionics modernization and corrosion control typical of 1980s airframes.

The Dassault Falcon 10 / Falcon 100 family occupies the light-cabin, high-speed segment of early business jets, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft ceiling compared with contemporaries. Competing types historically include light jets from Cessna and Learjet families; resale demand for early-1980s Falcons is driven by cost-sensitive buyers seeking performance at low acquisition prices but facing higher maintenance and retrofit budgets. For this specific airframe—serial 198—age and modest valuation mean prospective operators prioritize thorough records review, engine times on the TFE731 series powerplants, and clarity on avionics upgrade history before purchase or commercial operation.
