Argentina: This is how a death flight worked

As I have mentioned previously, anyone who wants to find out the full details of the Argentine death flights needs to read Horacio Verbitsky's account of his interviews with Adolfo Scilingo (The Flight/El vuelo).

Here are some very brief quotes from that volume where Scilingo describes the actual flight process:

They [the prisoners] were informed that they were going to be transferred to the south and would be given a vaccination for that reason. They were given a vaccination - I mean a dose of something to knock them out, a sedative. It made them drowsy.[...] Then they were put on a truck, a green truck with a canopy. We went to the military airport [...] Then the subversives were carried out like zombies and loaded onto the airplane. (21-22)

In their unconscious state, the prisoners were stripped, and when the commander of the airplane gave the order, which happened according to where the plane was, the hatch was opened and they were thrown out, naked, one by one. That's the story. A gruesome story, but true, and no one can deny it. (49)

This is what recently arrested pilot Julio Poch is being accused of being a part of.
