On 27 November 1992, a failed coup d'etat attempt was made in Venezuela, with involvement from the air force on both sides. Twenty years later, a commemoration parade was organised in which this F-16 would participate, among many other aircraft. This picture was made during one of the rehearsals for the air parade.

Still going strong after almost 30 years in service with Grupo Aereo de Caza 16 "Dragones", F-16A 9864 is seen here on the flightline of El Libertador in 2012.

One of many F-16s seen during the celebrations of 19 years of F-16 operations with the Venezuelan air force, F-16A 9864 taxies back to its sunshed at its homebase El Libertador.
