The delivery in early September of a Dassault Falcon 7X to a Fortune 500 customer furnished opportunities to ride along on the flight to the airplane’s new home base, as well as to get some stick time in the level-D
flight simulator at training provider CAE. Both experiences revealed quite a lot about Dassault’s flagship bizjet.

Although the buyer had placed its order for this particular airplane years ago, it was still heartening to witness a customer take delivery of an ultra-long-range business jet given the continued sluggish state of the economy. The acceptance flight was only the fourth for the airplane after its trip across the Atlantic from the Dassault factory in Bordeaux to the completion center in Little Rock, Ark., which was followed by a series of shakedown flights just before delivery.
