Peter,
Welcome to the USA, and I hope you get to do a bunch of jumping during
your stay here! Here's some addresses for you to start with:
> 1) the address of the USPA
UNITED STATES PARACHUTE ASSOCIATION
1440 Duke Street
Alexandria, VA 22314
(phone: (703) 836-3495)
> 2) addresses of dropzones in the NJ area
I live in Oregon, so I don't know that area at all. But, there is at
least one USPA affiliated center in New Jersey:
Lakewood Skydiving
Lakewood Airport
Box 517
Lakewood, NJ 08701
(phone: (201) 367-8264)
> 3) shops, where i can buy small equipment like altimeters, helmets etc.
You can probably buy what you need at the drop zone, but if not, Para-Gear
Equipment Co. carries a complete line of literally everything you could ever
want. Their catalog costs $2.00.
Para-Gear Equipment Co.
3839 W. Oakton Street
Skokie, IL 60076
(phone: (312) 679-5905; Toll Free #: (800) 323-0437)
Let us know of your jumping experiences as soon as you get started.
Blue skies and soft winds!
