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 K-8 would participate, among many other aircraft. This picture was made during one of the rehearsals for the air parade. Venezuelan air force serials were allocated more or less randomly, although 0507 seems to be connected to Venezuelan Independence Day on 5 July.

Rehearsing for the commemoration parade of the 27 November 1992 coup attempt, 0507 was one of many K-8 Karakorums flying that day. Venezuelan air force serials are allocated more or less randomly, although 0507 seems to be related to Venezuelan Independence Day on 5 July.
