N989JW

This entry covers airframe N989JW, a Dassault Falcon 8X completed in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 420. The aircraft is owned by the corporation S C JOHNSON & SON INC of Racine, WI, US, and the corporate ownership has been consistent in public records since delivery. Operator and home-base activity is aligned with the owner's corporate location; delivered new in 2017 to S C JOHNSON & SON INC. No notable registry actions beyond the original U.S. registration have been published in available data. Condition highlights are limited to manufacturer build year and equipment fit; specific valuation or maintenance history has not been published.

The cabin is fitted in an 11-seat executive layout consistent with multi‑zone executive cabin arrangements typical for the Falcon 8X, offering flexible reconfiguration for corporate transport. Avionics are configured with EASy IV (Honeywell Primus Epic / Dassault EASy), supporting advanced flight management, synthetic vision and integrated safety systems for long-range, high-altitude operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate travel leveraging the 6,450 nm range and high cruise speed of 488 kts, operated from the owner’s U.S. base in Racine, WI, US. Maintenance considerations follow standard Falcon 8X schedules and three-engine-specific inspections driven by the PW307D powerplants; detailed maintenance records are not published here.

The Dassault Falcon 8X family occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering extended-range capability and high cruise speed compared with many twin-engine competitors. With three PW307D engines providing redundancy and long-range performance, the platform competes against other long-range business jets where runway performance and cabin volume are priorities. Buyer and charter demand for the type centers on corporate operators seeking transoceanic range combined with flexible cabin configurations, while resale and maintenance considerations reflect the 8X’s advanced avionics fit (EASy IV) and the lifecycle costs associated with a tri-jet powerplant architecture.
