N79CJ

The airframe bearing tail number N79CJ is a 1981-built Dassault Falcon 10, constructor serial 179, operated under United States registration. The aircraft is recorded as owned by V1VR LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is maintained within the U.S. civil registry. Notable registry actions include its current registration status with U.S. authorities and its ownership being held in corporate form as V1VR LLC, a common structure for business-operated light jets. The airframe's market valuation is listed at $255,000, reflecting a used condition and the typical economics of early 1980s small business jets.

The cabin configuration for this Falcon 10 follows a typical executive layout with a 6–7 place forward-facing seating plan, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; on the used-aircraft market these cabins are commonly refurbished. Avionics on surviving Falcon 10 airframes frequently include various Collins components and Pro Line elements, and this airframe is reported with Collins avionics elements in later upgrades. Typical mission profiles suit short-to-medium international hops and domestic business travel within the aircraft's 1,900 nm range and high-speed cruise of 452 kts, operating from corporate or charter bases; ownership by an LLC in Wilmington, DE suggests corporate or fractional/charter use. Maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s age, the TFE731 series engines’ overhaul cycles, and recurrent avionics modernization commonly applied to extend operational life.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for its era with a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient TFE731 powerplants. Competing models historically include light-cabin jets from Learjet and Cessna offering similar speed and field performance. Buyer and charter demand for early-1980s Falcons centers on affordability and upgrade potential; the reported $255,000 value emphasizes the need for investment in avionics and cabin refurbishment. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial 179 airframe focus on engine life limits, corrosion inspection, and the common practice of avionics retrofits (Collins/Pro Line) to meet contemporary airspace and charter requirements.
