To mark the 60th Anniversary of the Falcon line, veteran aviation journalist Fred George, flew a vintage Falcon 20 that looks and flies like brand new due to hundreds of upgrades that in-service Falcons have received over the decades.
I fly the Falcon 20 doing freight. It is a beautiful airplane that is still going strong 60 years later. Dassault truly knows how to make a great aircraft!
My Father flew and maintained an early Flacon 20 owned by Jim Walter Corp. That airplane was purchased in the mid 60’s when they were still being marketed by PanAm. When it was delivered the center of the control yokes had a PanAm logo badge. All the maintenance manuals and flight manuals had PanAm all over them. To my Dads last day the Falcon 20 was his favorite airplane.
Glad Dassault U.S. is doing this memory recall about how Falcons started. Remember Charles Lindberg choosing the Falcon 20's for the U.S. Coast Guard ? This is how it really started.
If I had a tonne of money I wouldn't buy a Phenom 300 or a G280. I'd buy a Falcon 20 !! Throw a couple of million at it and Bob's your uncle, you're away !
