Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N555BK, is a 1981 build of the Dassault Falcon 50 with manufacturer serial number 048, delivered from Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation). It is listed as owned by the corporation CARGO SOLUTION EXPRESS INC of Fontana, CA, US, and holds a United States registration. The airframe presents in the long-lived Falcon 50 fleet as a fixed-wing multi-engine jet valued at $2,538,333, and its recorded configuration and registry reflect corporate operations based from the owner’s California location. Registered in the US under corporate ownership and operated from the owner’s home base in Fontana, California, this example remains within the typical ownership and usage patterns for late-model Falcon 50s.
The cabin for this airframe follows the model’s standard executive fit: a typical 8–9 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, though the specific interior fit for N555BK is not published. Operating from its owner’s base in Fontana, CA, the aircraft’s performance—long-range capability and transcontinental cruise speed—suits corporate transport, small-group executive travel, or light cargo/support missions consistent with corporate operators. Avionics fit for this serial is not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations center on three-engine systems and Garrett TFE731-3 engine support and inspections typical of early-1980s Dassault designs.
The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies the mid-size, long-range trijet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability for up to ten occupants at cruise speeds around 420 kts and service ceilings near 49,000 ft. Competing models historically include other mid-size business jets that prioritize long range and performance; the Falcon 50’s three-engine layout and Garrett TFE731 powerplants influence maintenance programs and parts logistics. For buyers and charter operators, resale and operating-cost considerations reflect airframe age (1981 build), the value reported at $2,538,333, and ongoing support requirements for legacy avionics and triple-engine maintenance regimes.
