I think he meant "Starship style"! I'll miss that bird. *Tear*

Maybe someone is working on a Walter conversion for the 690 like they did with the King Air.

Walter engine King Air 90

I highly doubt it, the 690 has 331's not PT-6's.

Why would that be so doubtful? If I remember correctly, there's at least one King Air model that has 331's on it.

Because the B-100 had 331's on it. The Walther engines were put on PT-6 powered 90's. Very different. The PT-6 and the Walther are very similar. The 331's are not. Yhe only reason the 331's were put on the B-100 was due to a strike at Pratt & Whittney.
