Flying Turtles Head Back to the Wild
Several endangered sea turtles, rescued by general aviation aircraft flights last fall, will be released back into the wild this week in Georgia.
Business aircraft operators volunteered space in their aircraft to carry endangered sickly sea turtles, to southern facilities that could rehabilitate them. Now pilots and their families are invited to see them swim free again.
