A multi-model Maxwellian distribution including effects of turbulent fluctuations is shown to be an equilibrium solution of the Boltzmann equation without molecular chaos. The classical Maxwellian distribution is obtained from this solution in the limit of vanishing turbulent intensity. This finding tempts us to make a conjecture on the existence of nonquiescent turbulent equilibrium prevailing eventually. The turbulence level, however, is expected to be very low and hardly detectable except under microgravity circumstance where disturbances due to buoancy effects are suppressed below a certain level.
