N728LW

This article covers airframe N728LW, a late-1970s production Dassault business jet built as a Dassault Falcon 50 by Dassault Aviation in 1979, carrying manufacturer serial number 3. The airframe is owned by Bleeker Holdings Corp (a corporation based in Stratford, CT, US) and is registered in the US. Public documentation on registry actions, changes of ownership prior to the current owner, and contemporaneous valuation or condition reports is Not published for this specific tailnumber; known factual points center on its three‑engine TFE731 powerplant family and its typical executive interior configuration.

The airframe is configured with a typical executive layout for the model: two‑crew plus an 8–9 passenger executive cabin arrangement, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory. Operated from its recorded owner location in Stratford, Connecticut, the aircraft’s mission profile for this configuration is consistent with long cross‑country executive transport within its published range of 3,075 nm and high‑speed cruise of 488 kts, exploiting the three‑engine installation for overwater and extended‑range missions. The use of Garrett/Honeywell TFE731‑series turbofans (typical early‑series TFE731‑3 family) informs maintenance planning, spares provisioning and overhaul cycles specific to this airframe’s era and engine type.

As a Falcon 50 airframe produced in 1979 (serial 3), this jet belongs to a three‑engine executive family whose published performance figures — long range, high cruise speed and a 49,000 ft ceiling — define its niche for transcontinental and offshore executive missions. Demand and resale considerations for this specific build year and serial reflect age‑related maintenance and avionics upgrade needs tied to late‑1970s production examples; the aircraft’s engine type and cabin capacity are primary factors for buyers and operators evaluating continued service or refurbishments.
