Will be aired tonight @ 2100 Eastern. It's the story of Carl Boenish and the original BASE Jumpers back in the '70s & '80s. Two close friends are in this Documentary Phil Smith (Smitty) and Phil Mayfield they are BASE #s 1 & 2!! We all regularly Jumped @ the Original Spaceland DZ South of Houston in the '70s & '80s.

Mayfield is interviewed in the film, he's wearing a Yellow T-shirt. I last jumped with him in October, 2014.
I watched Smitty jump a Static Lined "Free-Packed" Piglet from the Gondola in the center of the Astro Dome in Houston, not just once but several times during a "Thrill-Show & Demolition Derby". We also ran the "Pick-up Boat" when he jumped from the Bridge over the Houston Ship Channel!! The Houston PD showed up, and there were "News Crews" present, and told Smitty that he had to "Get Off of the Bridge" so he complied with the "Lawful Order".............He Jumped!!
