Operation Gardel
Operation Gardel〔According to the September edition of ''Evita Montonera'', Montoneros' clandestine magazine, the name stemmed from the similarity between this action and the accident which had killed Tango singer Carlos Gardel forty years earlier.〕 was the codename given by the Peronist guerrilla organization Montoneros to the downing of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules, belonging to the 1st Transport Group of the 1st Air Brigade, as it took off the old ''Teniente General Benjamín Matienzo'' International Airport, carrying 114 Gendarmerie personnel as part of the Operativo Independencia.
== Background ==
The plan was to set off an explosive charge in the form of a conical tip placed below the runway, right in the moment when the C-130 was at full power during takeoff.
Almost in the middle of the runway, 1,100 meters away from the northern end and 1,000 from the southern, there was a storm drain leading to a disused sewer that crossed below the runway. A cable was laid through the 250 meters of tunnel, emerging from the storm drain and connecting the charge to the 12V battery of a parked vehicle. The switch would be activated from a nearby pit.〔
This "''masterpiece of military engineering''", referred as such by Montoneros, had taken at least six months of planning; the fork of a branch was used as a benchmark to calculate the trajectory of the plane.
