An Horten Ho-1B constructed in 1954, flew again in skies of Argentina after almost 4 decades of inactivity!!

This last month of February, after almost forty years in earth makes what better it knows to do, fly.
The effort of enamored with aviation, Diego Roldan Knöllinger, has made it possible.
There are few airplanes that make us dream, airplanes that have represented a radical change in the aeronautical design. The flying wings are one of the original concepts, but the wings of revolutionary designers like Reimar and Walter Horten are the best.
