This aircraft never served with the Soviet Union Air Force, but was originally OK-KIE. It was severely damaged when the hangar roof collapsed during hurricane Andrew in 1992.

During my visit to Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight Museum, two of the flyable aircraft did flight demonstrations. One of them was this Fieseler Storch seen taxiing back after a short flight. It is registered as N156FS, which I assume may be a subtle nod to both the make and model of this aircraft.
