Thanks. They are great machines for sure, but I've now sold my Aerostar. I'm stepping up to an old Turbo Commander turboprop. Mama said I couldn't keep both. Not that I could afford to anyway...

Bit of a thread resurrection 
Nice plane! Managed to get a few hours in one of those as well when I worked at a survey company last year.
Love the interior

Flew a 690 for a few trips as a co
Amazing performance in climb and cruise but my god the noise like having a machine gun going off by the side of your head
I know the owners went to a lot of trouble trying to eliminate the noise

Garrets are loud on ground, but can't say I find them very loud inside.
I flew a 690B with Garrets and every time the noise was horrendous. As stated like a machine gun going off and worse in the PAX area
The owners went to a lot of trouble with soundproofing and clever gismos which improved matters.
Apart from that a great performing and strong aircraft with an amazing climb rate and loved by many
