DASSAULT AVIATION<br />
LOOKS TO NEW HORIZONS<br />
WITH NEW JETS<br />
On May 4, 1963, Dassault Aviation’s first business jet, the Mystère 20, took to the air. In the months that<br />
followed the aircraft would be rebranded as the Falcon 20, which the company deemed a better name for the<br />
American market where its success was essential.<br />
That success would come quickly. Following a visit to Dassault in the early 1960s, legendary aviator Charles<br />
Lindbergh discover the aircraft and quickly informed Juan Trippe, the pioneering founder of Pan American<br />
Airlines, about the aircraft, as he knew Tripp was looking for suitable aircraft to begin a business jet division.<br />
Pan Am, as it would later be known, would go on to place a firm order for 40 Falcon 20s, and take out options<br />
on a further 120 aircraft.<br />
