WKRP in Cincinnati Turkey Drop
Not domesticated turkeys.
https://www.inverse.com/article/38476-can-turkeys-fly-thanksgiving
Also…. most domestic turkeys are too fat to fly, so they don't use their breast muscles much, which is why breast meat is white.
I would think they could glide though….unless their wings are clipped.
Turkeys can fly.
The flight that almost killed me
When I was 17, my dad took me to some cliffs south of San Francisco to learn how to hang glide. The class met at a cliff to watch experienced pilots take off before going to a practice slope. The first launch we watched took off, made a smooth arcing turn, and crashed at full speed directly into the vertical cliff about 150' high and fell. He broke both legs at the least, but survived at least long enough for the ambulance to get there.
Dad cancelled my class, I never learned to fly.

Couch gliding
I've heard of couch surfing but not couch gliding.

When you forget to strap in your hang gliding passenger
Labeling the pilot as an idiot may not be a good way to ensure things like this don't happen again. As mentioned above, the same exact thing happened to a highly experienced, highly decorated hang gliding trainer. It seems to be a momentary lapse in judgement in what (to them) is a routine so ingrained as to be automatic.
Maybe they should implement written checklists like pilots. For hang gliding, it could be something both the instructor and the passenger need to physically sign off on. I imagine it wouldn't be too burdensome since it is likely to be very short (at least compared to pilot checklists).

Baring checklists, the safest hang gliding instructor in the world is likely to be this gentlemen following this incident. I recon his vigilance is sky high at the moment. (Assuming he didn't quit altogether like his BC counterpart.)
Ducks in Germany wait for the green signal at a crossing
Animation let it down. They almost look like they're gliding on little wheels rather than walking. Next time at least make the animators watch the way ducks walk.
QUAKE: Forefather of the Online Deathmatch-LORE in a Minute
I got a 4mb Voodoo 1 passthrough card when they first came out and to this day still think it was the most "holy shit!" game changer I have ever seen. 800x600 using Glide was unreal. I also had a GF 256 and while it certainly smoked the Voodoos in performance, the difference between software rendering and the Glide API was mindblowing.
I had 3DFX then dual Voodoo-2, then geforce 256
New Rule: The Lesser of Two Evils
It has always been The Supreme Court, @Stormsinger.
And still gliding over the single most horrible thing to happen to the PEOPLE of this country. The WOMEN of this country. The MINORITIES of this country.
But sure. Stand by your refusal to vote for a "corporate" candidate.

Falcon vs Car - Earth Unplugged
Pfft. Bird of prey might be sexier, but I reckon real props for speed should go to ducks or pigeons. You ever see a duck gliding? No, nor me.
LGR Tech Tales - 3Dfx & Voodoo's Self-Destruction
I owned 3 total 3dfx cards, including the last one, the 5500. They were great and glide was better than direct 3d for a long time. I was sad to see them go.

How Does An Owl Fly So Silently?
I've upvoted, but this is a terrible explanation of why owl wings are silent. Owl wings move tremendous amounts of air: the idea that they glide to stay silent is hogwash. Owls wings and feathers have some incredible adaptations to reduce noisy air turbulence - there's a better explanation here: http://www.asknature.org/strategy/938e8c4d8e2bf786fa5c9922d181273e
