Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N987F, is a 1982-built Dassault Falcon 50 with manufacturer's serial number 124, constructed by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation). The aircraft is held by WLJ MANAGEMENT LLC of Weatherford, TX, US, and operates on the United States civil register (registered in the US). The airframe’s operational profile reflects a long-range corporate multiengine business jet of its era; current valuation is listed at $3,000,000, with maintenance and systems status not published in the supplied data.

The subject Falcon 50, as configured for ten seats, supports typical long over-water and transcontinental corporate missions enabled by its 3,500 nm range and high-speed cruise of 479 kts. Based in Weatherford, TX, US, the owner/operator profile suggests use in executive transport, company shuttles, and potentially on-demand charter operations within U.S. and international range limits permitted by its systems. Specific cabin layout, bespoke interior furnishings, and avionics fit for this individual airframe are not published in the provided dataset. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on lifecycle and support for the trijet Honeywell/Airesearch TFE731 series powerplants and legacy Falcon 50 systems, factors commonly affecting dispatch reliability and operating cost for 1980s-built Falcons.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies the long-range mid-size corporate jet niche of its production era, notable for three-engine redundancy and transcontinental capability. With a service ceiling of 49,000 ft and cruise speeds near 479 kts, the model competes historically with other long-range business jets of the early 1980s; however, buyer and charter demand for older airframes is influenced heavily by engine support, airframe fatigue inspections, and cockpit modernization needs. The listed value of $3,000,000 for this specific airframe reflects market considerations for aircraft of this vintage, ownership structure, and the continuing maintenance commitments associated with legacy trijet configurations.
