The 'Aermacchi M-290 TP RediGO' is a turboprop-powered military basic trainer aircraft. It was originally manufactured by Valmet of Finland as the 'L-90 TP Redigo', a development of their earlier training aircraft for the Finnish Air Force.
The prototype, a modified L-80 first flew on February 12 1985. Aermacchi purchased the manufacturing rights in 1996.
The aircraft is of conventional configuration, with retractable tricycle undercarriage and a low wing. The student and instruction sit side-by-side. As is typical with many military trainers, it can also carry light armament for weapons training, or potentially, for use in a close-support role.
