Those are rookie numbers compared to stuff like MA60. First flight in 2000, 110 built, 67 still active, 57 exported, 26 in storage due to maintenance problems, 14 incidents (luckily only 1 fatal)

Wikipedia:

  Of the 57 MA60s exported by January 2016, at least 26 were in storage after safety concerns, maintenance problems or performance issues; six others were damaged beyond repair.
Not quite a glowing track record…
