5. We have plenty of wild turkey around here.

I've seen them get into the air and glide for quite some distance. They do seem to prefer running though.

6. They're marginally airworthly

Heavy bodies, short broad wings, steep energy expenditure. They puddle jump to get to safety; gliding does cut down on energy loss.

The WKRP Turkey Fiasco is one of TV's top ten funniest scenes ever

7. I agree. They work pretty hard to get in the air.

But I've seen them glide for over half a mile. We live on a hill. When I startle the flock occasionally while they're foraging in a field, they get air borne and glide across the valley. Amazing sight. If I startle one in the woods, they make a huge amount of noise to get in the air then disappear. The WKRP show was a classic.

9. "It was like the turkeys mounted a counter attack. It was almost as if they were organized..."

Even turkeys know it's better to be in a union.

10. I saw this when it aired

I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe
