N970JD

This entry covers airframe N970JD, a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900 built in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 119. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by VOICE OF THE COVENANT CHURCH INC DBA, a corporate owner based in Destrehan, LA, US. The registry lists an executive configuration and a valuation of $6,000,000, reflecting its status as an early-production Falcon 900 airframe with corporate/church ownership and typical end-of-life market positioning. Ownership by a single corporate operator in Louisiana is the principal recorded operational detail for this airframe.

The registry lists 12 seats and an Executive layout, consistent with the Falcon 900’s typical 8–12 passenger cabin arrangements; this airframe is presented for corporate transport missions. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed of 510 kts, operational profiles for N970JD would include transcontinental and trans-Gulf routing from its base in Destrehan, LA, US. The three Garrett TFE731 series engines, each rated at 3,500 lbf, underpin the aircraft’s high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft, which supports efficient cruise and favorable operating economics for medium- to long-range executive flights. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with typical Falcon 900 practice given its 1992 build year and corporate ownership structure.

The Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900 family occupies the long-range, three-engine executive jet niche, valued for transcontinental capability and high-altitude performance. With a reported market value of $6,000,000 for this 1992 airframe, resale and buyer demand tend to favor well-maintained units offering full executive fitments such as the Executive layout shown in the registry. Competing models occupy similar markets but may offer different single- or twin-engine maintenance profiles; the Falcon 900’s triple-engine configuration and certified ceiling of 51,000 ft remain distinguishing performance characteristics.
