Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N950RA, is a Dassault Falcon 50 built in 1986 with manufacturer serial number 170. The aircraft is owned by Royal Air Freight Inc, a corporation based in Waterford, MI, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry information includes its corporate ownership and the airframe's mid-1980s build year; valuation records list the airframe at $1,900,000, reflecting its age and configuration.
The cabin layout for this airframe is typically fitted with 8–9 executive seats in a club/divan arrangement, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting executive transport and corporate flight profiles. Avionics commonly installed in Falcon 50 airframes include Collins Pro Line systems, with Pro Line II / Pro Line 21 variants often found on retrofits, and this airframe is noted as equipped with Collins Pro Line-style avionics. Operational roles for N950RA would center on medium‑ to long‑range executive missions enabled by its 3,500 nm range and transcontinental cruise capability; routine use would originate from its owner’s base in Waterford, MI. Maintenance considerations for a 1986 Falcon 50 include managing three‑engine systems and periodic avionics upgrades typical for aircraft of this vintage.
The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies a niche as a long‑range, three‑engine business jet offering high cruise speed and a 49,000 ft service ceiling, providing performance advantages for overwater and high‑altitude routing. Competing models in its era and market segment are twin‑ and trijet executive jets that emphasize range and speed; the Falcon 50’s three‑engine layout is a distinguishing factor. Buyer and charter demand for veteran Falcon 50 airframes tends to hinge on maintenance status, avionics fit (Collins Pro Line retrofits increase utility), and overall valuation—this example’s listed value of $1,900,000 reflects those resale and upkeep considerations.
