Dassault Falcon 10 Jet, sold
Having a jet has allowed us the ability to fly into multiple cities in the same day and submarkets that you can’t get to with out connecting flights commercially. It has been a game changing tool for business productivity.

The Falcon 10 is considered by aviation aficionados as legendary. It is a comfortable 6 - 8 passenger light jet built for remarkable speed (up to mach .87) and, like all Falcons, unparalleled short field performance. The Falcon 10 has unlimited airframe life due to its incredibly strong structure, speeds that can only be surpassed by an $3-15 million Citation X, yet has docile handling characteristics. Due to its full span leading edge slats (as with Boeing Airliners), it will land at speeds nearly as slow as the typical piston twin-engine aircraft.
In addition the Falcon 10's remarkable performance and incredibly strong structure, consistent with its commitment to not compromise in design, it also has massive amounts of systems redundancy. For example, the flight controls are hydraulically operated with 2 independent hydraulic systems isolated from one another. There is a 3rd standby electric hydraulic pump as well as the 2 engine driven pumps. Should both systems fail, plus the standby pump fail, there is mechanic reversion. Should that also fail, flight controls will move with electric motors. In other words, the pilot will never lose control surface operations in a Falcon 10.
The Falcon 10 will fly 1600+NM, carry a full load of passengers with full fuel, and on a typical 2-3 hour trip will burn roughly 220 gallons per hour. It will typically fly from Denver Colorado to anywhere in the country without a fuel stop. It will land as slow as 105 knots, and stop in as little as 2000 feet.
No light jet presently built for millions of dollars more can match the performance or structural integrity and systems redundancy of the Falcon 10.
