That day it is said that all of them had taken part in the ‘record-breaking skydiving event’. Three people; New Zealander Wendy Smith, Canadian Neel Jones and Briton Holly Budge; made a record by skydiving from 1000 feet above Mt. Everest.

A Pilatus Porter aircraft, which has the capacity of flying up to 44,000 feet, took the divers above Mt. Everest for the ultimate jump. The first person to do a solo jump was New Zealander Wendy Smith, who is also a World Champion in skydiving. “ I felt both excited and strange at doing this. I had 6 seconds free fall and could clearly look at Mt. Everest,” remarked Smith after the fall.

The aircraft had taken the divers southeast of Everest at 12 nautical distance. The landing point was at the Syanboche Airstrip at above 3000m. The skydiving project was planned by Briton Nigel Gifford and was participated by jumpers from Britain, America, Canada, Pakistan, Iraq, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand among others.
