Thanksgiving Turkeys have been delivered to off-grid residents. Alaska Through a unique medium – a drop of air.
Esther Kim flies over rural parts of the state in her small plane, dropping off frozen birds to people living in roadless areas.
The Alaska Turkey Bomb was born out of Cam’s childhood growing up on Alaska’s road system when a family friend would air-drop turkeys for his family and others in the area for the holidays.
Other times, the pilot would leave newspapers, sometimes with a pack of gum inside as a treat for Cam because she couldn’t get to the local store.
