FAA: We'll be ready for Arkansas turkey drop
October 7, 2011

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—No one in Yellville will say if they expect wild turkeys to fall from planes for this year's Turkey Trot Festival. But the Federal Aviation Administration says it will be watching.

An FAA spokesman tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ( http://bit.ly/riRPHL) that the agency will track any pilot who drops wild turkeys over the tiny north Arkansas town. Offenders could lose their licenses.

The spokesman, Lynn Lunsford, says no one in town will tell them who flies the planes.

Fans of the drop say it doesn't hurt the turkeys, which float to the ground. Lunsford says he's seen video of a turkey falling straight down and bouncing off the roof of a building.

raised for food.

15. LOL, if you want to call what they do flying. In my yard they....

take off when startled banging into trees and all kind of stuff. Funny as hell to watch.

What the heck is wrong with the people of that town?

humans are capable of levels of idiocy the animal kingdom can only aspire to.

It wasn't until Arrested Development and Parks and Recreation that I laughed like that again.

14. WKRP was one of my favorite TV shows of all time,

and that episode was especially hilarious.

[callous taoboy]

19. WKRP had it all. I've heard that it will never make it into a box set

because they would have to pay royalties to all of the musicians whose music is featured on the show.
