Model & Market Context
The airframe, registered as N900RA, is a 1967-built Dassault Falcon 20 with serial number 59. It is registered in the United States and is now registered to ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC, a corporate owner based in Waterford, Michigan. The registry summary lists a 12-seat configuration for this airframe, and operations have been conducted from the owner's home base in Waterford, MI. Publicly available data for this specific airframe does not record additional notable sale dates or certificate actions beyond its current corporate ownership.
The cabin for this airframe is configured in a 12-place executive/utility layout, as reflected in the registry summary, accommodating passenger or mixed cargo-passenger missions without modification detail published. Operating from the corporate base in Waterford, Michigan, the aircraft’s performance—typical cruise of 405 kts and a ferry or mission range near 1,810 nm—supports medium-range executive transport and utility flights. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe are not published in the supplied data; the twin GE CF700 powerplants with approximately 4,200 lbf each define the propulsion commonality and associated overhaul intervals typical for the series.
The airframe belongs to the Dassault Falcon 20 family, a mid-sized, twin-engine business jet niche introduced in the 1960s and noted for its relatively high cruise speed and transregional range for its era. Competing models historically included other mid-size business jets of the late 1960s and 1970s; the Falcon 20’s combination of cruise speed near 405 kts and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft positioned it for corporate, charter, and utility applications. Buyer and operator considerations for this specific serial include age-related maintenance, availability of parts for the CF700-series engines, and the practicality of a 12-place executive/utility cabin in contemporary charter or corporate fleets.
