N80BC

The airframe bearing tail number N80BC is a Dassault Falcon 50 built in 1986 with serial number 166. It is recorded as currently registered to VAUGHAN AVIATION LLC in Leesburg, VA, US, operating from that home base under US registration. The aircraft, a tri-jet business jet manufactured by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation), is noted in records with a market valuation of $2,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and maintenance history as represented in public registries. Registry entries identify the operator and location; no additional historical owners or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific Falcon 50, configured for 10 seats, supports typical light transcontinental and offshore missions within a business aviation profile, employing the aircraft’s long-range capability of 3,084 nm and cruise speed near 420 kts. Based in Leesburg, Virginia, the operator likely uses the airframe for executive transport and charter-type operations consistent with its range and seating; the tri-engine layout offers added performance and redundancy for overwater and high-altitude routes. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on aging airframe and engine program continuity for the Honeywell TFE731-3 engines and adherence to Dassault service bulletins; specific avionics fit and interior finish are not published in the provided data.

The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies a niche as an older, long-range tri-jet offering high-altitude capability up to 49,000 ft and transcontinental legs around 3,084 nm, distinguishing it from contemporary twinjets with similar cabin sizes. Competing considerations for buyers and operators include availability of spare parts, engine overhaul economics for the TFE731-3 engines, and resale pricing reflected by the stated $2,000,000 valuation. For this airframe, age and serial-specific history (Serial 166) are central to maintenance planning and marketability in the used business jet market.
