A little known group called Turtles Fly Too and it's volunteers, provided the flight for Pistachio from Florida to Chicago Turtles Fly Too says it has helped to rescue hundreds of sea turtles through the use of it's volunteer pilots and aircraft. "She was injured really badly. It was a boat propellor that had struck her, fractured her shell, had caused a bunch of internal injuries and she still struggles to swim normally which is why she is unable to be released into the wild," said Brookfield Zoo Chicago President and CEO Dr. Mike Adkesson.
