N788TS

This airframe, civil registration N788TS, is a production Dassault Falcon 50 built in 1986 with manufacturer serial number 171 by Dassault Aviation. The airframe is recorded as owned and operated by the Denver-based corporation SIDEWINDER AVIATION LLC, registered on the U.S. civil registry and operated from Denver, CO. There are no additional publicized ownership segments in the supplied data; the aircraft is valued at $3,500,000, reflecting its vintage, equipment variability, and typical market condition for mid-1980s long-range business trijets. The airframe is listed in the U.S. registry under a fixed-wing multi-engine category and maintains common corporate interior configurations consistent with Falcon 50 examples.

The airplane is typically outfitted in an executive cabin described as a standard eight–nine passenger layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; multiple corporate layouts have been fitted in service, and the specific interior of this airframe may vary accordingly. Avionics equipment for this serial varies by airframe, with a common retrofit for Falcon 50s being the Collins Pro Line 21 suite when modernized; the supplied data notes that avionics have been subject to individual retrofit choices. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and configuration include medium- to long-range corporate transport and private charter runs out of a Denver operating base, operating to high-altitude airports and transcontinental sectors within its 3,084 nm range. Maintenance and outfitting history for this specific aircraft are not detailed beyond owner and registry information.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies the long-range, three-engine executive jet niche originated by Dassault, offering transcontinental range and high-altitude performance. Its competitors historically include other long-range light-to-medium executive jets, and demand in the used market favors well-maintained examples with modern avionics retrofits and updated interiors. For this 1986 serial 171, buyers and operators typically weigh the cost of avionics modernization (e.g., Collins Pro Line 21), the condition of the Honeywell TFE731 engines, and overall maintenance history against the listed value of $3,500,000 when assessing resale or continued operations.
