Is it true that scientists restored a whooping crane migration route by leading imprinted chicks with an ultralight aircraft flown by a pilot in a crane costume?

Yes. Multiple reference sources confirm that whooping crane chicks were isolation-reared, trained to follow ultralight aircraft, and led by pilots wearing crane costumes on their first migration from Wisconsin to Florida.
