Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N496ED, is a 1981-built Dassault Falcon 50 with manufacturer serial number 64. It is owned by FLYING PIGGS LLC, a limited liability company based in Klamath Falls, OR, US, and is U.S.-registered. The aircraft carries the tri‑jet configuration original to its type and is valued at $3,500,000, reflecting its age, systems fit and market condition. Notable registry and ownership history includes its current listing to FLYING PIGGS LLC as the documented operator and home base in Klamath Falls, with no additional public transfers provided in the supplied data.
The cabin is described as a typical 9–10 passenger executive layout featuring a club/divan arrangement plus a forward cabin, though the exact interior depends on any prior or future refit. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 4, with EX upgrade cockpit packages commonly fitted to this platform, supporting modernized navigation and flight management capabilities for business missions. Operated from Klamath Falls, OR, the airframe is suited to long‑range executive transport missions within its 3,142 nm capability and cruise performance of 447 kts, regularly flying high‑altitude profiles up to 49,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft include tri‑engine systems and airframe age from the 1981 build year, which factor into inspections, component life limits and potential avionics or interior refit choices.
As a member of the Falcon 50 family, this airframe occupies a long‑range, mid‑size executive niche characterized by three‑engine redundancy and transcontinental capability. Buyer and charter demand for an airframe with a 1981 build year and a Collins Pro Line 4 fit will hinge on condition, recent maintenance records and interior configuration. Resale and maintenance considerations for this example include the cost interplay between preserving original systems versus investment in avionics or cabin upgrades, with its $3,500,000 valuation reflecting those tradeoffs.
