Don't forget to watch "Skydive into the Rain Forest"
Tues March 4th on PBS "Nova".
It documents an expedition of 12 skydivers who parachuted
onto a remote plateau in the southern Venezuelan state of
Amazonas.
The plateau rises 4,000 feet from the floor of the rain
forest and features a system of caves at the 3,000 foot
level.
The expedition's members and 5 tons of equipment were
delivered via parachute to the plateau from a DC3.
Sounds like good watching!
