Falcon 50EX with API winglets... That would make me happy!

I'm an old Boeing guy, emphasis on old. Lot's of 737 time 200 thru 700, KC-97, B-29, B-17, etc. I thought Boeing was the best builder of solid, dependable, good flying airplanes. That was until I crossed paths with Falcons. A few years ago the FAA added some "vintage" corporate jets to my "vintage examiner" group of airplanes and I began to get acquainted with Falcon 10's, 20's and 200's. I have also flown some right seat in the 50EX. Not since I flew T-38's back in the early 70's have I experienced the exhilaration of flying a hot rod like the 10. An amazing wing is one that stalls fully configured (light weight) at about 85 knots, clean at 125 knots and will go literally as fast as you want without so much as a quiver or twitch. ArthurQ is something you must experience to appreciate. Recently I started contract flying a 20 Retrofit with just about every mod and S/B that exists. It is a "10" inside and out and draws a crowd just about everywhere we go that there are connoisseurs of le Falcon present. The 20 does the same things that the 10 does, but just slightly less on the acceleration and climb rate. Until I meet the Falcon I thought the only thing worth having from France was Michelon tires.

Maybe we should go back to calling the Falcon 10/20 its real name: Mystère. It's quite an interesting story, which I believe we've told a few times here. The story behind Michelin is also very interesting.

Username Protected wrote: The story behind the creator of Falcon Marcel Dassault is remarkable. He was born Marcel Blanc and pre WWII was one of the largest aircraft manufactures in France. Hilter approached Marcel to build aircraft for the Nazis and refused. Upon the outbreak of WWII, Marcel was captured by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp for the duration of the war. His brother was in the French resistance his code name was Char D'assaut which translates to assault tank. Marcel was liberated from the camp and was given a coat by an American soldier, inside the coat was a four leaf clover. This the reason there is a four leaf clover on the logo. After the war, Marcel and his brother changed their last name to Dassault after his brother's code name.
That's cool- must be the only aircraft company with a nom de guerre.
