This is a 2001 Dassault Falcon 2000 which is available for charters.  I'm told it was once owned by George Clooney, before he moved up to something larger.

The old airport beacon was removed when the original water tank was demolished, and it now sits on a pole alongside the present hangars.  I thought it made a nice contrast to the much newer Bizjet.
