RHinshaw 0 #1 August 23, 2008 Hey guys, total newb here, I did a static line jump way, way back. I'm doing an article on the Sotano de las Goindrinas, specifically Patrick de Gayardon's jump into it from a helicopter in 1989. If anybody has amazing recall, is a store house of important facts, or has a resource for the technical details of this jump, I would appreciate it. Has anybody else done a skydive into this cave since then? Thanks in advance. R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #2 August 23, 2008 Send a PM to "basehoundsam". I'm pretty sure that is the same cave to which he organized a jumping expedition a few years ago. IIRC, the last I heard from him about it, he could no longer get permission to jump it."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

NickDG 23 #3 August 23, 2008 I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think (if it's the same cave) B.J. Worth did it before Patrick. And it was also from a helicopter . . . As I recall he did the cave jump not long after he jumped the Efiel Tower for the Bond movie, A View to a Kill so that makes it around 1985. It was billed as the world's first first subterranean skydive. But like I said, check, as I'm not sure if it's the same cave. Most of the jumps made their since have been B.A.S.E. jumps, not skydives. NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
