DYEVOUT 0 #1 August 4, 2003 Has anyone seen the movie "Fathom"?? It was a poorly written, poorly shot 1967 flick about a hottie named Fathom (Raquel Welch), who plays a member of the U.S. Skydiving team - being recruited to do some secret agent type shit for the Brits. The picture is more of a vehicle to showcase Raquel's almost surreal hotness , than to convey any kind of plot. The movie did, however, contain several minutes of assorted skydiving footage - including some packing (sleeve?), accuracy landings under (what I believe to be) Paracommanders, and some super-hoaky under canopy (layover) effects. Were these PCs ? They had a shitload of slices in 'em, and a large cutout in the rear. I find vintage gear very interesting, and from what the landings looked like (train wrecks) - I'm glad to be under a ram-air. ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court."
