N5CA

This airframe, registered N5CA, is a 1981-built Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10, constructor serial number 187. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by MACH 87 LLC (an LLC based in Sulphur Springs, TX, US), which is the documented owner/operator and apparent home-base entity for the aircraft. The airframe’s build year and serial mark it as an early-production example of the Falcon 10 family; its documented ownership by a single LLC suggests private corporate operation rather than airline or fractional use. No other registry actions or valuation figures have been provided for this specific airframe.

The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 airframe with registration N5CA typically supports a compact corporate cabin configured for up to 11 seats, suitable for short- to medium-haul executive missions within its 1,900 nm range and at cruise speeds near 490 kts. Operated from Sulphur Springs, TX by MACH 87 LLC, missions would commonly include regional business travel, charter hops, and positioning flights. Avionics fit and specific cabin appointments are not published here; maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe will focus on the twin Garrett TFE731 turbofan powerplants, each rated at 3,500 lbf, and on keeping the airframe compliant with US civil registry requirements. Single-owner corporate custody implies centralized maintenance records and potentially consistent upkeep practices.

The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 occupies the light corporate jet niche with relatively high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft, competing historically with other light jets in the 1980s and later light-cabin turbofan market. Demand for this family depends on buyers seeking compact transcontinental capability with efficient twin-engine operations; the aircraft’s age (built 1981) elevates attention to component life limits and refurbishment needs in resale or charter markets. Maintenance economies hinge on TFE731 support and parts availability, while resale considerations reflect vintage airframe status paired with proven performance metrics.
