Generally, I don't have a problem with life limits if they can be tied
to genuine airworthiness concerns (as opposed to, for example, an
effort to tail product liability exposure -- not real likely here
because of GARA). 3000 hours is a lot of time.

120 hours/year for 25 years and you are there.


I suspect it won't be
easy to find a U.S. registered Pegasus anywhere near that range unless
it has spent a substantial chunk of its life in club or rental service.

My 1987 Discus has 2500 hours, but is a relative baby since the life
limit on the Discus is 12,000 hours.



(In fact, I wonder what the highest-time glass ship still in service in

the U.S. might be.)

Well in excess of 3,000, I bet.
