EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Dassault Falcon 20 HB-VBL: Bernhard Cornfeld's Distinctive Jet at London Heathrow Airport, Circa 1980" 2. Caption: This evocative photograph captures the sleek and sophisticated Dassault Falcon 20 jet, registration HB-VBL, as it gracefully taxis on the runway at London Heathrow Airport in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The Falcon 20, manufactured by Dassault Aviation, is a versatile twin-engine business jet that first flew in 1968, offering impressive performance and range for its time. 3. In this image, we see Bernhard Cornfeld, a renowned Swiss financier and businessman, standing next to his Falcon 20, which bears the distinctive "Cornfeld International" livery. Cornfeld, who was born in Romania but became a naturalized Swiss citizen, was a prominent figure in the European financial world and was known for his extensive business dealings in the commodities market. 4. The Falcon 20, with the manufacturer's serial number 126, is seen here in its prime, exuding an aura of power and elegance on the tarmac of one of the world's busiest airports. The jet's distinctive falcon emblem, emblazoned on the tailfin, adds to its regal appearance. 5. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of private aviation during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a time when business jets like the Dassault Falcon 20 began to revolutionize the way executives and entrepreneurs traveled, enabling them to cover vast distances in record time and in unparalleled comfort. 6. Today, the Dassault Falcon 20 remains a beloved and enduring symbol of the golden age of business aviation, and this image of HB-VBL, with Bernhard Cornfeld at London Heathrow Airport, serves as a testament to the jet's timeless allure and the indomitable spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation that defined the era.
