Dassault Falcon (Mystere) 20F-5 Mid range French twin engined business jet. SCO 9271.
Dassault Falcon has a proud and distinguished heritage. It all started in 1963, when Charles Lindbergh visited the Avions Marcel Dassault factory in Mérignac, France. He was part of a team sent by Pan American World Airways Inc., seeking a business aircraft to market in the United States. Lindbergh relayed his unequivocally positive impressions of the Mystère 20 directly to then-Pan Am Chairman Juan Trippe. On that recommendation, Pan Am’s newly created business jet division was established to market and support the Falcon 20, then known as the “Fan Jet Falcon.” As sales grew and the number of Falcons in service increased, the need for closer coordination between the manufacturer and its marketing organization soon became apparent. In 1972, Dassault and Pan Am formed a joint venture company, Falcon Jet Corporation, and assigned it the sales and support duties previously held by Pan Am. In October 1980, Dassault purchased Pan Am’s interest in the joint venture, making Falcon Jet a wholly owned subsidiary. On January 1, 1995, Dassault Aviation and Falcon Jet merged certain worldwide operations and renamed the company Dassault Falcon Jet Corp. Today, Dassault Falcon Jet is responsible for selling and supporting Falcon Business Jets in North, South and Central America as well as Asia and the Pacific Rim. It employs a total workforce of more than 2300 persons in its 5 facilities: Teterboro (NJ), Wilmington (DE), Little Rock (AR), Reno (NV) and Sao Paulo (Brazil). Little Rock facility is the biggest facility of the Dassault Group with 1800 employees. It is today one of the biggest completion center in the world.
