One of the tactics the mexican government used to disappear dissidents was called "Flights of death", Vuelos de la muerte. A person was arrested/kidnapped and taken to a military base outside of México city. Later the prisoner was taken to Acapulco,where the military had a small airstrip and base. The prisoner was held in a small building dubbed the 'bungalow'. Later the prisoner was taken outside,blindfolded and executed. The body was placed inside a body bag. About 5 bodies could fit inside the plane. Out in the ocean the bodies were dumped in the ocean. There were hundreds of these flights documented in military flight logs and documents.
In 2002 and again in 2021 there were commissions set up to investigate these disappearances and two now generals were fingered as having given the orders for these operations. But to date no one has been arrested or punished for these crimes.!!
