The Valmet L-80 TP Turbo-Vinha was a prototype for a new Finnish turboprop basic trainer aircraft. The aircraft, which carried the registration OH-VBB, first flew on 12 February 1985.[1] It was destroyed in a crash on 24 April 1985, during its 14th flight, killing the test pilot Paavo Janhunen. The aircraft was a further development of the Valmet L-70 Vinka and would eventually lead to the Valmet L-90 Redigo.
The Allison turboprop engine was used in the second aircraft, the L-80 TP Turbo-Vinha (OH-VTM) which was destroyed during an aerial display in Belgium. The third of the series (OH-VTP) got the new name Redigo or RediGo (used in sales brochures).
