Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N72FJ is a 1990-built Dassault Falcon 900EX, serial 072, currently held by OBSIDIAN AIRCRAFT LLC, an LLC based in Boise, ID, US. The airframe is registered in the United States and has been listed with an estimated market valuation of $8,000,000. Records indicate conventional owner-operator status for corporate transport, with the airframe's age and series-level upgrades being relevant to its valuation and maintenance status. The configuration and registry reflect continued use in long-range business aviation operations from a U.S. home base.
The subject Falcon 900EX is configured for a 12-seat passenger layout, consistent with long-range corporate transport and group missions. With a cruise speed of 510 kts and a range of 4,330 nm, typical operations include transcontinental and transoceanic flights, high-altitude cruise profiles, and time-sensitive executive travel missions originating from its Boise, Idaho operator base. Cabin amenities and avionics fit are not published for this specific airframe, but the 12-seat layout supports mixed conference, lounge and single-club seating arrangements common to the model; maintenance considerations emphasize three-engine systems and high-cycle airframe checks typical of aircraft of its vintage. Ownership by OBSIDIAN AIRCRAFT LLC suggests owner-operated or managed-corporate use with U.S. registry compliance and associated maintenance tracking.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies a niche as a long-range, tri-jet business aircraft combining transoceanic capability with flexible short-field performance. Competing models in the market niche include later-generation large-cabin business jets offering similar range and speed, and buyer demand is influenced by airframe age, avionics upgrades, and engine-time status. For this 1990 airframe, resale and operator considerations center on refurbishment, potential avionics modernization, and the economics of three-engine maintenance versus twin-engine alternatives; the listed valuation of $8,000,000 reflects those lifecycle and market factors.
