Most probably this is former Polish Air Force serial 917 which is preserved since 1999 at Birmingham (AL) since 1999. That Lim-2 was a former stored aircraft at AMARC (1993). The fuselage is here seen at Reno-Steadfield in 1989. Some other likewise Lim-2 were used by the Defense Test & Evaluation Agency, Kirtland AFB (NM) before they went into storage. Is anyone able to confirm this?
