N78MB

The airframe bearing tail number N78MB is a Dassault-built Falcon from 1977, a specific example of the Dassault Falcon 20F-5 lineage with serial 363. It is owned by V1VR LLC, a limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. Registry entries note a two‑engine Honeywell turbofan fit and a reported F‑5 conversion; overall valuation listed for this airframe is $1,295,000. Operator and maintenance records should be consulted to confirm recent movements, modifications, or any notable registry actions beyond the ownership shown.

The airframe is commonly outfitted with a typical executive layout accommodating nine to ten passengers, with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory; the specific cabin plan for N78MB should be verified against interior records. Typical missions for this airframe type and the listed performance include medium‑range executive transport and business shuttle flights, exploiting the Falcon 20F‑5’s relatively brisk cruise of 405 kts and transcontinental range near 1,808 nm. Based at or operated from the owner’s home region in Wilmington, DE, US as a corporate asset is consistent with the ownership data; maintenance and avionics configuration should be confirmed from logbooks to determine any special equipment or inspection history tied to the reported engine conversion.

The Dassault Falcon 20F-5 occupies a market niche as a light to midsize corporate jet with transcontinental capability for its vintage class, offering a useful ceiling of 42,000 ft and efficient twin‑fan performance at about 4,750 lbf thrust per engine. Contemporary competition historically included early-generation light business jets and smaller midsize types; resale and maintenance considerations for a 1977 airframe like N78MB center on engine life‑cycle status, avionics upgrades, structural fatigue inspections, and the veracity of a reported conversion to TFE731‑5BR engines. Buyer demand and valuation are strongly influenced by verified completion of such conversions and the documented condition represented by the $1,295,000 value.
