PRIVATE Dassault Falcon 7X · N173CN

About This Photo

The primary subject is a white Dassault Falcon 7X business jet airplane, identified by registration N173CN displayed on the rear fuselage near the three-engine exhausts. The aircraft is in the process of landing with nose gear and main wheels extended, just above the runway pavement, which is marked with "F 33." The jet has a sleek fuselage with multiple windows along the cabin and subtle blue, green, and turquoise curved stripes running horizontally from the front door to the tail, continuing vertically on the tail fin. The Falcon 7X’s distinctive tri-engine configuration is visible with two engines mounted on either side of the rear fuselage and one centered at the base of the tail fin. The cockpit windows show a visible pilot steering the aircraft. Secondary elements include a body of water immediately beside the runway, likely a lake or river, with a tree-lined, forested background suggesting a heavily vegetated area. In the distant background, some buildings are partially visible. The runway is equipped with lighting and signage, including runway edge lights and a visible runway holding position sign marked with the letter "F" and the number "33." The weather appears clear with no clouds, under bright daylight conditions possibly late afternoon as the lighting casts warm shadows on the aircraft and surroundings.
