Window Seat 21 Nov 17

ONE of the great legal mysteries of American airspace has been solved – it turns out there’s no law against dropping live turkeys from a plane.

After careful consideration, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed to HuffPost that its rules “do not specifically prohibit dropping live animals from aircraft”, though it hastened to add “this does not mean we endorse the practice”.

The issue was raised last month at the Turkey Trot festival in Yellville, Arkansas, where inexplicable tradition dictates live turkeys are thrown from a light aircraft flying at 500 feet.

Outcry over the event has not swayed local officials to act on the practice, prompting unsuccessful pleas to the FAA.
