| September 9, 1998 Keiko, the Orca Whale starring in the movie FREE WILLY left his home at the Oregon Coast Aquarium (Newport, OR) to travel to Iceland, where he is transitioning from living in captivity to eventually be set free. Keiko was transported by the US Air Force in a C-17 Globemaster III in a mission referred to as "Operation Keiko Lift". Good luck Keiko, we wish you the best! |
