TL;DR Summary

Argentina has welcomed the return of an airplane used by the country's last military dictatorship to throw political opponents to their deaths. The plane, which took part in the notorious "death flights," will now be part of a museum dedicated to the memory of the victims. The victims included French nuns and a mother who had been searching for her disappeared son. The plane will be housed at a former detention and torture center in Buenos Aires. The discovery of the plane provided evidence used in a historic trial that convicted dozens of people of dictatorship-era crimes.
