This former Polish Air Force Lim-2 was sold to the USA as N629BM and was registered as such on 6 March 1987. The registration was not carried. The aircraft was pictured at Reno-Steadfield in August 1989 and still carried its original Polish serial, but received Soviet stars on its tail and wings. Between March 1987 and August 2015 it was based at the War Eagles Air Museum, Santa Teresa Airport/Dona Ana County Airport, El Paso (NM). In late 2015 it was sold on 27 October 2016, the date the N629BM was cancelled. The aircraft was shipped to Russia in 2017. Since, the databases lost track on it.
