In has been over 10 years ago and 3 jobs, but they got rid of the TC for a KA200, and six months later got out of the flying business because the KA was much more expensive to operate. But you are right the pax really liked it compared to the TC. BTW you are on the money about parts and AD's, but I had heard the -10 conversions were better and had fixed those things.If I win the lotto I would buy a King Air for myself and Turbo Commander for my mother-in-law!
Never met a 690 pilot that didn't love flying the airplane, myself included. A great workhorse of an airplane that performs excellent and is an absolute pleasure to fly.
Make sure you have a GOOD mechanic with lots of 690 experience close by... Also, make sure your prebuy is done by someone with lots of 690 experience too, and the airplane is test flown by a knowledgable 690 pilot before buying. I have flown more than a dozen different airframes, and they all were very different. A misrigged 690 is a lot less fun than you would think...
