N68UP

This airframe, registered as N68UP, is a 1971-built Dassault Falcon 20F, constructor serial 258, completed by manufacturer Dassault Aviation. It is owned by Royal Air Freight Inc (a corporation based in Waterford, MI, US) and is registered in the US; the current ownership and base are recorded as Royal Air Freight Inc, Waterford, MI. The airframe is an older executive/cargo-configured Falcon 20F with an estimated market value of $1,400,000, reflecting its age, operator-configured layout and continued use potential.

The cabin of this specific Falcon 20F is an operator-configured executive/cargo layout, commonly fitted with 8–12 seats but listed with 12 seats for this airframe, allowing flexible mixes of passengers and freight. Avionics and mission equipment are not itemized in the public data and typically vary by operator; therefore systems fitment should be confirmed with the owner/operator. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize short- to medium-range executive transport, light cargo movements and charter support within its 1,780 nm ferry capability and cruise speed of 405 kts from a service ceiling of 42,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe include its 1971 build year and the life-cycle status of the installed Honeywell TFE731-5BR-2C turbofans, factors that influence inspection schedules and resale valuation.

The Dassault Falcon 20F represented a purpose-built twin-engine business jet by Dassault Aviation, and this airframe’s performance figures—405 kts cruise, 1,780 nm range and 42,000 ft ceiling—define its operational niche for regional executive and light cargo missions. With a 1971 build year and an operator-configured cabin, buyer interest and charter demand for this airframe will hinge on maintenance history, avionics modernization and the condition of the two Honeywell TFE731-5BR-2C engines. The listed market valuation of $1,400,000 reflects both its age and continued utility in a fixed-wing multi-engine category where resale and upkeep costs are significant considerations.
