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 Hongdu K-8 Karakorum would participate, among many other aircraft. This picture of 2002 was made during one of the rehearsals for the air parade, when it was being prepared on the flightline.
