I think that originally it`s polish Lim-2 or something like that. Guy bought that plane in Poland from scrap yard, shipped it back to US and then made it fly again.

I`m going to The Polish Aviation Museum in August. Hopefully I`ll have more pictures of this plane

Simply awesome! I've never seen one of these actually flying before. Looks immaculate, too. Cool!

Thank you. This was a neat aircraft watch. I haven't seen it in the last couple of years at Tico though.

Thank you. This was a really nice aircraft. They also flew an F-86 with this aircraft as well to emulate air combat over North Korea.
