videos_antville, this is the first official video to a Boards of Canada song. It's not that great of a video but I thought it worth noting coz its first half appears to be footage from Joseph Kittinger's stupidly high-altitude 1960 skydive, which I knew about but hadn't seen before; I didn't know he was holding a camera when he did it. Holy crap he was really up there, huh. (I'm pretty sure that he did not have a surfboard, though.)
Also, I like Boards of Canada.

There's a book called "The History of Silent Flight" that has some good stills of some Russian dude's high-altituded drop, but that video rocks.
