| Billy Caywood, e-mail, 31.03.2015 18:44 I spent 12 yrs in this A/C a standard C model with the later 2D2 engines.
Ni-cad battery's were problems due to poor cell quality.
the earlier Ge 700's had discharge module problems, compressor fan blade's tip clearances (compressor) stalls. operation damages, due to wind parking,ground, Deer on runways wing flap damages, the electrical sys. was very good. parts & repairs were also very good.
I also flew several other jets. The old falcon was the best.

| Michael Meek, e-mail, 12.03.2012 06:10 Even with its short commmings of range and speed, by today's standards, for a first generation corporate jet it was no slouch. I put nearly 5000 hrs in Falcon 20's, mostly in a "c" model with upgraded GE 2D-2's. It was one of the best handling, most dependable airplanes that I ever had the pleasure of flying. Most importantly the boss and his guests loved with cabin.

| Greg Art, e-mail, 09.03.2011 04:09 I flew the Falcon 20 with the GE engines for Conoco Oil Company in the early 80's. The aircraft was built like a tank and very reliable. The Falcon was comfortable with an APU and was easy to fly. The cruise speed was a little slow at .74 mach and the range was only about 3 hours 30 mins. The fuselage had no time limit and was vitually certifified to fly forever.

| Vince O'Brien, e-mail, 24.11.2010 04:46 I flew the first Falcon 20 Pan Am brought into the US. it was N801F with no thrust reversers or APU. This aircraft was sleek and beautiful fun to fly and needed long runways.
Pan Am did a great job marketing the Falcon and plaaced it in the must have business jet of its day.

| Mike Challgren, e-mail, 02.10.2010 03:50 I weld wire model aircraft sculptures. I have made many Falcon 20 models for pilots and employees of Federal Express. The models are 'desktop' size and cost about $125.00. Shipping is extra but doesn't amount to much. Send an email to me and I will respond to you with some interesting information.
Thanks - Mike

| Jock Williams, e-mail, 16.04.2009 17:41 I flew the Falcon 20 in the Electronics Warfare role in the Canadian Air Force.
Since our job required "fighter tactics" we flew it that way -and found that it did as nice a roll as a CF104 or CF5 ever did -and since our "passengers" were experienced navigators they ate it right up.
The Falcon 20 -and its younger sister the Falcon 10 were both sportscars. I always felt at home in the cockpit -it "felt" like a fighter -as I imagne a Mosquito must have felt -and its performance was equivalent!
