Sorry, Chief. You are right. My mistake.

SECRET_RECORD
--> Commander-List message posted by: "George J. Yundt III" <yundt@speakeasy.net>
Just to correct the record:
The aircraft Michael Jackson used to return for arraignment was not "His",
but rather was a chartered Gulfstream G-II or G-III, and WAS NOT A FALCON!
(You may remember the Hub-Bub about the Charter operator two days later. He
secretly recorded MJ and his discussions in the cabin during the flight with
a hidden camera and the Judge issued an injunction to forbid making those
tapes available either publicly or to be used by either side's legal team.
ALL FALCON'S HAVE MID-TAILS, NONE HAVE "T" TAILS. This design was selected
to produce superb elevator control even at very high angle of attack and
very slow airspeeds, and is a direct design descendant of the famous Mirage
Fighter that vanquished the Arab's MIG fighters in the 60's & 70's. This
configuration eliminates the "deep tail stall" effect that haunts "T-Tail"
jets. As a result, the Falcons are the ONLY swept wing civil aircraft
certified without the required installation of any stick shaker, stick
pusher or artificial means to preclude the pilot from actually approaching a
fully developed stall. Additionally, the current production Falcons are the
only jets without stall strips, vortex generators, vortelons, fences or any
aerodynamic "patches" to correct or modify airflow. The Falcons are the
only aircraft that can be hand flown with full 3-axis authority into and
through a fully developed aerodynamic stall, as well as through transonic
flight of Mach .95 - .97 (we do this on demo flights with guest pilots in
the left seat and allow banks during this maneuver to 60 degrees!) at the
other end of the envelope, where the flow over the wing equals Mach 1.0 and
you can see the shock wave on the wing and sometimes the condensate "cloud"
just aft of the shock wave. A further indication of a Falcon's strength
(versus that of ANY other bizjet): 1) there is NO published Turbulence
Penetration Speed (Meaning that the Vmo/Mmo is the only limit for even
penetrating a thunderstorm, though not recommended) and 2) it is the ONLY
FAR Part 25 airframe certified by the FAA with an UNLIMITED Service Life (No
hour nor cycle limits)
You don't have to agree with the French Government's politics (neither do
I), but no one builds a better crafted, stronger, more efficient, better
handling business jet aircraft than Dassault.
Just ask Wing Commander Gordon...he flies one for a living!

To be precise, the aircraft being referred to here was N87TD, a very very
early (#39) GII with AvPartners Winglets.
