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. It wears a large badge of Grupo Aereo de Caza 13 inside the left tailfin, the outside of its right tailfin is painted to celebrate the five years (2006-2011) leading up to the Venezuelan Bicentennial celebrations in 2011.
