In a Soviet Air Force c/s, in maintenance at Reno-Steadfield. This is former Polish Air Force serial 1416. The aircraft was sold to the USA and became N416JM in March 1987 with the War Eagles Air Museum, Santa Teresa Airport/Dona Ana County Airport, El Paso (NM). In March 2014 sold to an unknown private owner in El Paso (TX). On 27 October 2016 the USA civil registration was cancelled and the Lim was exported to Russia in 2017. Since, the database lost track on it.

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?

No clue about its identity, anyone?
