One of the more capable ones in Latin America, at least on paper.  I can't speak to how good their training and maintenance are.

It's major fault as an air force is that they've devoted their resources badly, emphasizing prestigious multi-role fighters such as the F-16 and Su-30 rather than the ground attack/COIN/transport roles that would make sense. Assuming that they got in an air war with another Latin American country and the US stayed out, Brazil and Chile are the only ones that on paper could reasonably expect to contest the Venezuelan Air Force.  But if it did get to a shooting war, the US would get involved and one carrier is more than a match for any of the Latin American air forces.
