Argentina's first-ever proven "death flight" plane has been returned to the country from the US after being discovered in Florida. The Short SC.7 Skyvan was used by the Argentine junta to throw political detainees to their deaths from the sky during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship. The government has added it to the Museum of Memory, which is in what was the junta’s most infamous secret detention center. Argentina’s junta detained, tortured and killed people suspected of opposing the regime, with human rights groups estimating 30,000 people were slain.
