[edit] 26 accidents out of 104 airplanes?

This article says: "A total of 104 model 23's were built. In 1998 there were still 39 LJ23's in use. Only 26 LJ23's have been lost through accidents." Do I understand correctly that 26 airplanes have been lost through accidents, on a total of 104? And the article says "Only"? If the number is correct (I did not verify), then, at least, the word "Only" should be removed. If someone has verifiable informations on why this number is so high, this would be an interesting addition. -- Francois Beaune

[edit] Range stated in current article is unrealistically high

I won't edit the article because I can't find what I consider an authoritative reference but having looked at the specs on any number of modern light jets with far more efficient engines, the stated range of 2,549 mi is simply not feasible. Some example references:
