Yeah, looks just like a "wild turkey" coming off the roost 60 feet up in a
pine tree. Although the "wild turkey" may not have to flutter around as
much.

If you have ever seen one on final approach you would understand it being
called "turkey"

I have a friend (golfing buddy) who was a engineer back in the beginning
phase of the F-14. I mentioned that I had notice on this NG that it was
referred to as the Turkey. He wasn't happy with that a said it was no
Turkey, great plane. What is the origin of the nick name? I believe it is
an affectionate and not a derogatory name, true?
