N376BL

This airframe, registered as N376BL, is a Dassault Falcon 20 F-5B built by Dassault Aviation in 1978 with serial number 376. The jet is owned by Skyview LLC (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and is registered in the US; the current record indicates corporate ownership with Wilmington, Delaware listed as the operator/home base. Notable registry actions include its conversion to the -5B standard with typical avionics retrofits and ongoing corporate operation; the listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $1,400,000, reflecting its age, systems configuration and maintenance status.

The cabin of this Falcon 20 F-5B is configured for executive transport with an operator-dependent executive 8–9-place club or club/divan layout that includes a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, providing typical corporate-transport amenities. Avionics for this airframe commonly reflect the -5 conversion pattern, with a typical retrofit to the Collins Pro Line 4 suite noted as the standard fit on many F-5 upgrades. Operational profiles for N376BL are consistent with short- to medium-range corporate missions out of its Wilmington, DE base, exploiting the aircraft’s 2,257 nm range and 436 kt cruise for coast-to-coast or regional shuttle duties. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet center on airframe age and the Honeywell TFE731-5 powerplants, which are widely supported but require life-limited component tracking and regular shop visits.

The Dassault Falcon 20 F-5B occupies a light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering robust twin-engine performance, a 42,000 ft ceiling and respectable cruise speed for its generation. Competing models historically include earlier Learjet and Hawker variants; the Falcon’s pressurized cabin and range made it attractive for corporate and charter operators. Demand for airframes like N376BL is driven by buyers seeking lower acquisition cost with acceptable retrofit potential; resale value and marketability hinge on installed avionics (such as Collins Pro Line 4), engine hours on the Honeywell TFE731-5 series, and the condition reflected in the $1,400,000 valuation. Maintenance intensity and parts availability are manageable but factor into lifecycle and resale considerations for prospective operators.
