Operation Migration hangar, aircraft vandalized:

The Operation Migration effort that is escorting young whooping cranes to refuges in Florida, already beset by weather-caused delays, received a major blow this week when a break-in and heavy damage from vandalism was discovered at its Necedah aircraft hangar.

These folks used to make an annual stop at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge, and you can spot a migrating whooping crane there if you're lucky. The wings of their guide ultralight were destroyed during the break-in.
