N278RF

This airframe, registered as N278RF, is a 2007-build Falcon 900EX manufactured by Dassault Aviation, serial number 180. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by GLENBROOK III LLC, an LLC based in San Jose, CA, US; this registration and corporate ownership form its principal recorded ownership timeline. The airframe carries a current indicative value of $11,000,000 and is documented as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet type. Notable registry actions include its designation on the US register and the continuous corporate ownership under the named LLC.

This specific Falcon 900EX airframe is configured with 21 seats, supporting high-density passenger carriage for long-range missions consistent with its 4,330 nm range and transcontinental or transoceanic duty profiles. Avionics onboard are listed as Honeywell Primus 2000 / EASy (varies by retrofit), indicating that systems may differ depending on retrofit history and modernization choices made for this serial. Typical operations for this tail number would center on corporate transport and charter-like missions flown from its owner/operator base in San Jose, CA, US, with maintenance considerations driven by tri-engine TFE731 powerplant support and any avionics retrofit cycles required for compliance and capability upgrades. Cabin amenities and specific interior appointments are not published beyond the seat count.

The Falcon 900EX family occupies a long-range, tri-jet business jet niche, offering redundancy and extended-range capability relative to twin-engine competitors. With a cruise speed of 436 kts and high service ceiling of 51,000 ft, it competes against other long-range business jets where range and runway performance are prioritized. For this 2007 serial (180), key market and maintenance considerations include lifecycle support for the Honeywell TFE731-60-1C engines and the extent of avionics retrofits such as Honeywell Primus 2000 / EASy, which materially affect resale value and charter demand.
