Bird dropping

Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, has started a rapid delivery service for customers in Tolleson, Arizona, USA.
Called Prime Air, orders are delivered from the Amazon warehouse in the city to local customers in less than an hour. MK30 drones are used to drop the packages.
Only products weighing five pounds or less can be delivered by the drone and there is a fee for the airdrop, according to Amazon.
The service isn’t available at night or during bad weather, the company’s website says.
Meanwhile, in Alaska, a special air delivery service was recently provided by resident Esther Keim for the benefit of families living in remote areas. Only about 20 percent of the US state has roads and the rest is wilderness accessible only by small planes and snowmobiles.
Keim launched her annual delivery mission a few years back after learning of a family living off the land near her homestead that had little for their Thanksgiving dinner, CBS News reports.
Using a small plane she had rebuilt with her father, Keim flew low and slow over rural parts of the state’s south-central areas for her Alaska turkey bomb sortie.
She recently dropped 32 frozen turkeys to people living year-round in cabins where there are no roads and they can’t simply run out to the grocery store. The turkey is the centerpiece of Americans’ Thanksgiving holiday celebration every fourth Thursday of November.
In the turkey bomb, an assistant called “turkey dropper” rides with Keim and tosses the birds out. Other times, she’s the one dropping the turkeys while her friend, Heidi Hastings, pilots the plane.
