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. Serial 8924 is one of two F-16s painted for the 25th anniversary of Grupo Aereo de Caza 16 "Dragones" in 2007, and stills sports this tail about five years later.
