N808CK

This airframe, registration N808CK, is a Dassault Falcon 20 built in 1967 with manufacturer serial number 108. It is owned and operated by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and carries a United States civil registration. The aircraft’s administrative history is notable for its long-lived service life typical of early Falcon 20 examples and for continuing commercial operation into the modern era with an executive-configured operator; registration and ownership have remained tied to Kalitta Charters LLC in recent records. The airframe condition and valuation are consistent with well-maintained classic Falcons operated by charter and corporate operators, with systems commonly upgraded to extend operational life.

The cabin on this Falcon 20 is configured in an executive layout for up to 12 passengers with a forward galley and a possible aft lavatory depending on the specific fit-out, matching common corporate interior arrangements. Avionics across Falcon 20 airframes of this vintage are frequently modernized; this airframe accepts typical Collins Pro Line and related Collins avionics upgrade packages or retrofit suites to meet contemporary navigation and communication requirements. Operated from an owner base in Ypsilanti, MI, the aircraft is well suited to regional cross-country charter missions and corporate shuttles within its 1,810 nm range and at a cruise of 405 kts, supporting transcontinental legs with limited stops. Maintenance considerations reflect the classic nature of the airframe and its engines, with emphasis on structural inspections, avionics retrofits, and CF700-series engine upkeep.

The Dassault Falcon 20 occupies a performance niche as an early business jet notable for solid cruise speed and respectable range for its class and era. It competes historically with other light-to-midsize business jets of the 1960s–1970s and remains in demand in niche charter and freight conversions as well as executive transport. Buyers and operators consider lifecycle maintenance, availability of retrofit avionics (such as Collins Pro Line suites), and CF700 engine support when assessing resale and operational economics. As a US-registered, LLC-operated Falcon 20, this airframe typifies sustainability of older business jets through upgrades and focused maintenance programs.
