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

Rehearsing for the commemoration parade of the 27 November 1992 coup attempt. Su-30MK2 1157 was one of many aircraft seen active that day and is pictured here in front of aircraft shelters that are way too small to accommodate this large fighter.
