  1. I agree with Low_Pull on this. As a jumper who has jumped in Pakistan in the past, there are currently no civilian jump facilities in the country. Without wishing to sound rude or negative as neither is intended, its naive to assume that you could just rent an aircraft and start jumping in any country let alone Pakistan, even with a D license! CAA guidelines in most countries, including Pakistan are very strict. And that is the least of the hurdles - national security being a paramount factor. Currently a few of us are talking to the right people in Pakistan with a view to opening up a drop zone outside of Karachi, but we are still some way away from achieving that for reasons I wont mention in this thread, as that is a separate topic in itself. If you are however still keen on doing jumps out there, I would suggest para gliding as the nearest best option, which is a comparatively new sport in Pakistan, near Islamabad and is conducted by Hawk Gliding Club. Their web is http://www.parapk.net/home.html You can view further articles at http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=292274&area=/insight/insight__escape/ Good luck and enjoy your trip.
  2. Bought a double zipper black suit from Go Crazy who seem to be one of the very few companies still offering this suit. Terrie was very helpful in getting it completed in time as well as advising on the best size for a good fit. Ordered mine in black with silver/grey grips and extra cordura in the butt and knee areas. It fits well even with a layer of clothing for cold winter jumps. I will be ordering a additional suit with thermal lining soon.
