N461FL

This airframe, bearing registration N461FL, is a Dassault Falcon 20C manufactured by Dassault Aviation and built in 1967 with serial number 94. The aircraft is recorded as owned by IFL Group, Inc., a corporate owner located in Waterford, MI, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Ownership and operation have been associated with a corporate operator based in Waterford, Michigan, and the airframe’s age and serial trace it to the early production run of Falcon 20 variants. Condition and market valuation details are not published here, but its continued registration and corporate ownership indicate ongoing operational use rather than static museum status.

The airframe’s ten-passenger seating establishes it as a small corporate transport configured for short- to medium-range missions within a transcontinental or regional U.S. operating environment. Avionics fit and interior specifications for this specific airframe are not published; typical Falcon 20Cs of this vintage are used for executive transport, charter repositioning, or light cargo work depending on interior configuration and operator needs. Based at a Waterford, Michigan operator base, typical mission profiles would include business trips across the eastern and central United States, with range and cruise speed permitting fast point-to-point operations and single-stop transcontinental capability when needed. Maintenance considerations for a 1967-built Falcon 20C include aging-structure inspections, avionics retrofits, and parts availability typical of legacy Dassault platforms.

The Falcon 20C belongs to the early Dassault Falcon 20 family, a twin-engine business jet that established a niche for robust, high-speed corporate transports in the 1960s and 1970s. With a cruise around 405 kts and a ceiling near 42,000 ft, it competes in performance with other light-to-medium jets of its era, though modern competitors offer improved fuel efficiency and updated avionics. Buyer and charter demand for vintage Falcon 20s is driven by niche requirements, corporate heritage operators, and specialty missions; prospective operators must weigh acquisition cost against maintenance, modernization needs, and the airframe’s remaining operational life.
