Show me any other company which supports its products more than 10 years after the end of production. Aviation manufacturers are better than most because their products tend to last longer but there are limits to how many ancient parts you can economically stock as the number of examples in service, and thus demand, falls.

A few are becoming more enlightened, for example Suzuki now have a specialist unit producing parts for Classic motorcycles such as the GT750 Kettle.
