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 of 1168 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 1168 was one of many aircraft seen active that day, seen here at the start of its take-off run.

Definitely one of my more exotic catches in my collection is this Buffalo of the Egypt Air Force. According to online databases this aircraft was first noted in 1982 and is said to be still operational today.
