N13RA GR690A-10 s/n 11235
« on: July 16, 2022, 09:24:51 am »
Howdy!
Glad to be on the forum. Thank you DonV for helping me get approved.

I purchased a Grand Renaissance 690A-10 that had been in Mexico for sometime. It left the USA last as N122AV. So far we have really made the paint excellent and put my newly reserved tail number on it. Done phase one of the avionics upgrade. And completely redone the interior. Plus a whole lot more. Tom Bijou at BHM Avionics has done an incredible job on all including a real thorough gear and prop overhaul. So excited to finish my training in it with Barry Lane and start flying it everywhere. I am hoping to sell my year old to me 1977 421C soon, which was my first plane. Been great being back in aviation after a 12 year hiatus from flying back when I used to fly G4, G550's for an oil company here in Houston.

Warm Regards,
Ryan Alcorn

Welcome! Sounds like a great airplane, and should be a nice upgrade from the 421.

If you have any questions, please ask! I have been flying a 690A-10 quite a bit the last few weeks, and it has been great.

Welcome! Barry Lane was excellent, and a real fountain of commander knowledge.
