Information about Booni PG Pilots

Hi

All that is great to know about your comments on Baber’s turbulent flight, which has triggered a fruitful discussion for enthusiastic learners.  This discussion has provided us an opportunity to know more about the mishap that we can come across any time during our flights.

We are thankful to our foreign friends, for their being so sincere with us. We are proud to have contacts with a cadre of sincere friends around us like Mr Mukrim and Christian Rankl and others. Thanks to both of them for their concerns about the PG pilots of Booni, Chitral.

Here it should be clear to all of our friends that we are learned and responsible ones and try to improve our skills slowly and gradually.

Though none of us have had any formal training, yet we have learned paragliding through our own efforts and have been participating in a number of local and national events. In the year 2010 Mr.Mukrim visited chitral and in the course of his stay with us we learned a lot about various techniques of flying. He also taught us the very convenient and superior skill of ground handling. Ever since we feel ourselves to be at comparatively ease while taking off from any difficult point. Apart from that he informed us about many other important things during flights.

PG Pilots of Booni are thankful to Mr. Rankl for his full support. He knows well about our perception. During his stay at Booni he had also given time to teach us how to control the wing and what to do in the strong wind conditions.  It would not be an exaggeration to say that his linkage with PG pilots of Booni has made paragliding possible for us. We well come to both of them and other friends to Booni, in the future.

These pilots have established Terichmir paragliding Club (TPC) and held paragliding show in different villages of Chitral. In October 2011 we took off from the top of the mountain above Parkusap village and landed in the Mastuj village, which was a new experience for our emerging Paragliders. This year in August our flights from Zani Pass with Korean Paragliders enhanced our confidence.

To promote paragliding in this part of the country, we would like to have strong linkages with Pakistan Association of Free Flying (PAFF).We are hopeful that PAFF would provide full support  to the Paragliders of TPC.We need the proper equipments and gadgets for longer and higher flights.

Terichmir Paragliding Club will facilitate the visits of the foreign Paragliders and provide space for accommodation for them. The website of TPC will be launched soon via that you can be in contact with us for further information on paragliding in the Hindukush Mountains.

Thanks
Baber
