Alaska Turkey Bomb
Wonder where they got that idea? 
I was ready to assume that some humorless bureaucrat somewhere would immediately try to stop this on the grounds that pilots shouldn’t be throwing stuff out of their planes, but a quick search suggests they’re probably okay.

On the one hand, a frozen turkey is a pretty dangerous projectile. On the other hand, “reasonable precautions” is a squishy standard and it sounds like they’re being careful.
So, turkey-bomb away, I guess.
As God as my witness…
The article mentions an eighty-year-old living a ninety-minute snowmobile ride from the nearest town. That sort of very isolated life is well outside what I would want.
As an Alaskan, this doesn’t surprise me in the least. This is a state where pizzas are routinely delivered by small plane from Nome to outlying villages.
Predating both WKRP and the Alaskan incident were the Ramona “Turkey Celebration Days” sandwich drops in the 1930s. From the County News Center article:
Ramona was known as the “Turkey Capital of the World” for many years and the celebration harkens back to the community’s Turkey Day celebrations held from 1933 to 1941.
Those celebrations drew tens of thousands to the park and the 1936 and 1937 events featured turkey sandwiches “raining down” on attendees from stunt planes.
