Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N87KB is a 2003-built Dassault Falcon 50EX, serial 331, registered in the United States. The certificate and listed ownership identify KKB HOLDINGS LLC (Wilmington, DE, US) as the current owner and operator; the title has been held under this LLC at the reported home base in Delaware. The airframe has been appraised in listings with a market value of $5,700,000, and reported equipment and configuration indicate an executive fit consistent with used business-jet offerings for its model year. Registry and listing notes emphasize the airframe-level configuration and avionics package rather than recent major refurbishments or airframe anomalies.
This Falcon 50EX is reported with a 9+1 executive layout typical of 50EX listings, indicating a forward executive cabin and ancillary belted attendant/observer seating aft. The avionics suite is reported as Collins Pro Line 4 with components cited as EFIS-4000 and FMS-6100, supporting conventional oceanic and long-range IFR operations. With a design range of 3,388 nm and a cruise of 459 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and near-transoceanic executive missions operated from its U.S. registry base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with three-engine Honeywell TFE731-40 support requirements and typical 50EX inspection cycles as reflected in sales listings rather than bespoke aftermarket modifications.
The Dassault Falcon 50EX family occupies a niche for long-range, midsize trijets offering transcontinental capability with a high practical ceiling and balanced cruise performance. Competing models historically include other long-range midsize business jets and earlier-generation long-range offerings; the three-engine layout and Falcon systems are distinguishing technical features. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped, older-generation 50EX airframes tends to emphasize avionics updates, interior condition, and engine time; for N87KB the Collins Pro Line 4 fit and the reported executive cabin are marketable attributes, while the indicated $5,700,000 valuation reflects airframe year, equipment, and model residuals in the used business-jet market.
