Last month, Dassault Aviation delivered its 1,500th Falcon, a Falcon 2000. Charles Edelstenne, chairman of Dassault Aviation and Dassault Falcon Jet, presented the Falcon 2000 to Kevin Russell, senior vice president of Executive Jet. The delivery is the 29th Falcon of the more than 100 Falcons ordered for the Executive Jet NetJets fractional aircraft owner program. The 1,500 Falcons include 42 for use in search and rescue with the U.S. Coast Guard.

More than nine million flying hours have been logged worldwide since the first Falcon made its debut in 1963. More than 500 Falcon 20/200s were delivered over a span of 25 years. The Falcon 50 series is following closely on the 20’s heels, with more than 300 delivered since its inception in the late 1970s.
