In 1999 this Hip was photographed at the same place still wearing it's old civilian colour scheme. A year later and it looked nearly ready for delivery to the Lithuanian Air Force. However, it seems that it was never delivered with code '17'! It was first noted in use by the Air Force as code '20' during the second half of 2003. After just over a decade, it was noticed in storage at Siauliai.
