This plane has a dark history: During the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976 - 1983) this plane, which used to belong to the Argentinean Naval Prefecture (registered PA-51) was said to have been used for "death flights" in which those who opposed the dictatorship were thrown off while flying over the ocean. The current government has requested this plane be returned to Argentina so it can be preserved in a museum. In late June 2023 it arrived to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery and there, a special ceremony was held. This photo is copyright © Sandro Rota, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
