For rural Alaskans living off the road system, it can be difficult — and often expensive — to get a Thanksgiving turkey. One Alaska woman became aware of this dilemma and decided to do something about it.
Esther Sanderlin became aware of this dilemma and decided to do something about it. Sanderlin decided to raise money, hop on her plane, and airdrop Thanksgiving turkeys to her neighbors in the outlying village of Skwentna, located on the Yentna River.
