Valmet L-80 TP Turbo-Vinha was a prototype for a new Finnish turboprop basic trainer aircraft. The aircraft which carried the designation OH-VBB was destroyed in a crash in 1985 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 plane the L-90 TP Turbo-Vinha (OH-VTM).
