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 Su-30 would participate, among many other aircraft. This picture was made during one of the rehearsals for the air parade.

Just before sunset, Su-30Mk2 8963 returns to El Libertador during a rehearsal flight for this event.
