I don't think there will be an ILS on 12 anytime soon. The new airport about 30 miles to the west should be in service in, I think, in 2012/3, and it is supposed to be world class with dual runways and all the works.

Yet this could have been done many years earlier at minimal cost since many aid donor's would have been happy to gives us a grant to finance the equipment and have their contribution acknowledged.

The pilot kept asking for a right-hand downwind even though he should have known that it is not available since that would mean flying over the heavily-populated twin city of Rawalpindi.
