Falcon 20 and Falcon 10 are both lovely looking aeroplanes, though I think the Falcon 50 is the prettiest of the family.

The position of horizontal stabilizer is most likely configured that way in order to militate against deep stall, because the "dead air" which is from above. This would allow the omission of of the stick pusher, that further allows for a sidestick and the subsequent C* stability.

Love the 50 but I guess I could fly this if I really had to:)

The 20 is still doing sterling service with Cobham - er sorry Draken & hopefully will be for many more years.
