They've only been in service for a relatively short period and I doubt if many, if any, have even hit 2,000 hrs.

That did surprise me.

Surely the first 30 or so hours in the little Cabri G2 would be a much easier and cost effective introduction to rotary flying before stepping up to an Airbus 135.
