Assigned to the 655th IAP. This aircraft is believed to have been assigned to this regiment during its deployment to Afghanistan during Soviet involvement there and remained with the unit when it moved to Pärnu Airport in Estonia. The aircraft was retired in 1991 and sold to a group in Finland. It was later sold to a private individual in the US who intended to fly it. Due to a paperwork mistake the aircraft was seized by the U.S. Government and turned over to the USAF. Displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Loanded to Pima in 2010
