N42G

This airframe, registered in the United States as N42G, is a 1974-built Dassault Falcon 10 with manufacturer designation Dassault-Breguet and construction serial number 20. It is recorded as owned by Altair Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US, and currently carries a US registration (US) in civil records. Owned by Altair Aviation LLC is the principal documented ownership entry associated with this airframe; there are no other publicly listed operators in the provided data. The airframe is valued at $300,000, reflecting its age, configuration and market placement.

The cabin for this Falcon 10 airframe is configured in a typical executive layout designed to accommodate 4–7 passenger executive layout (single-club/forward galley configurations common) while the fuselage and certification permit up to 11 seats in other seating arrangements. Operated from the owner’s base in Missoula, MT, US, missions for this aircraft type and this specific airframe would commonly include short- to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter sectors enabled by a 1,920 nm ferry range and a high cruise speed of 494 kts. Avionics fit and specific avionics upgrades are not provided in the data; maintenance considerations center on preserving older airframe systems and ensuring serviceability of the twin Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines producing 3,230 lbf each.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies a light-corporate, high-speed turbofan niche introduced in the early 1970s by Dassault-Breguet, offering transregional capability, a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft, and compact cabin ergonomics. Competing types in the vintage light business-jet market include other early-generation light Falcons and legacy Learjet and Cessna Citation models; demand for such airframes is typically from owner-operators, cost-conscious charter operators, or buyers seeking donor airframes. Given its 1974 build year and an assessed value of $300,000, resale and maintenance considerations emphasize inspection status, engine hours on the Garrett TFE731 series, and the cost of avionics and interior refurbishment to meet contemporary operational standards.
