Has anyone been able to be lucky enough to travel or in this case not as lucky.. to have a sink hole next to them? Russia is getting a bunch of them and I’m hearing some are “bottomless”. So has anyone seen or flown their mavic down a sink hole ?

Never tried anything like that, but I'd keep a close eye on the GPS satellite count if doing so - you'll start to see them dwindling and at some point there won't be enough to be stable, I would guess.

They are in the same place they've always been, and I have, on occasion, been so close I was inside them.
This park is just a handful of miles away and has a bunch of fantastic examples of various sinks all in one area:

My area of Florida is pretty well known for sinks. There are thousands all over....ranging from kitchen table sized dry depressions all the way up to couple hundred feet deep and a couple hundred across with another hundred or so feet of water down from there.
I guess to clarify...if you're thinking of a random hole opening up and swallowing things leaving a huge cave to fly into...that's not quite how the common sinkhole works. The ones that are open, usually are full of groundwater to near the ground surface. The ones closed, aren't deep enough to be worthwhile to fly into.
Here's a now famous one that recently opened in the central part of the state:
