The Aermacchi MB-339 is a military jet trainer and light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Italian aviation company Aermacchi.
The MB-339 was developed during the 1970s in response to an Italian Air Force requirement that sought a replacement for the service's existing fleet of Aermacchi MB-326. Its design was derived from that of the MB-326, rather than a new design, and thus the two aircraft share considerable similarities in terms of their design. Aermacchi had found that the MB-339 was capable of satisfying all of the specified requirements while being the most affordable option available. The maiden flight of the MB-339 took place on 12 August 1976; the first production aircraft were delivered two years later.
Roughly half of all MB-339s entered service with the Italian Air Force, while the remainder have been sold to various export customers. As well as being used for training, the type is also flown by the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic display team. The type has been used in combat by both the Eritrean Air Force during the Eritrean–Ethiopian War of 1998-2000 and the Argentine Naval Aviation during the Falklands War of 1982. In both conflicts, the MB-339 was typically flown as an attack aircraft.

Flight dynamics feel really nice to fly but who does really know how it should fly!
Only a real MB-339 pilot could tell us.
But fore sure a nice ac to fly around in MSFS.
Why 3 stars:
The max speed of the MB-339 on sea level is 485 kn, but ingame the ship flys 405-407 kn on sea level. ( all 3 variants) This is a huge misconduct.
The sounds are not the worst but also not the best for the exterior and the interior. Especially comparing to the recently released Hawk T1, the exterior sound seems to need an upgrade to catch up with the latest high standard.
Last but not least, graphic animation of the jet exhaust is completely missing, this ends up in a very static and "lifeless" flying experience, at least from the exterior perspective. The Hawk T1 shows off, how great this can look in MSFS these days.
Finally also the plus points: Graphics are amazing. The model is looking great , also from the interior they have done a very impressive job. The flight physics are really nice to fly and very easy and forgiving for misstakes or inaccurate flying.
I really hope the developers will spend some more time and effort to bring an update with corrected speeds and more features, like animated jet exhaust and improved sounds.
Due to the high-detail model and textures, we suggest to use the MB-339 on systems that meet or exceed the following requirements:
CPU: 3.5GHz quad core processor or better
GPU: at least 4Gb dedicated memory, Nvidia 960 or better recommended
RAM: 6.0Gb minimum
Hard Disk: 1.8Gb required for installation
THIS PRODUCT WILL ONLY RUN WITH MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR
