Paynesville, Liberia - a 417 metre tall tower without access restrictions!

Recommended Posts

A wonderful site for skydiving would be the tower of the former OMEGA transmitter at Paynesville, Liberia.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_transmitter_Paynesville this tower is still standing and there seems to be no access restriction!
This would it make an ideal site for skydivers!

[B]Whereelse on the world one can find such?
I believe nowhere else![/B]

Of course, Liberia is a dangerous country. But this is also skydiving.

I hope this won't piss off the Africa locals, since it is the tallest structure on the continent. It is guyed.

The satellite photos on Google Earth/Maps are a little too cloudy for me to spot anything.

It's not ideal for skydiving since it's not an airplane:P. I know of a few other legal and not so legal BASE jumping sites closer to home and in countries where I'm less likely to get shot. Of course, we try not to broadcast our favorite illegal objects to the world.
