Description Nick Piantanida, a 34-year old New Jersey truck driver, athlete and sky diver, ascended from Joe Foss Airport in Sioux Falls, South Dakota aboard the Strato-Jump III gondola on May 1, 1966. His goal was to set a new world altitude record for balloons, and to establish a new mark for the highest parachute jump, beating the previous unofficial record of 102,800 set by Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger in 1960. Since the Air Force had not submitted Kittinger's jump as an official record, however, the world mark for the highest sky dive was held by a Soviet airman, Major Yevgeny Andreyev for a jump from 83,500 feet in November 1962.
