The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
We aim to have up to 12 Sling Aircraft and 24 Slingers join us on this adventure. James Pitman will be leading the tour in our latest development aircraft, the Sling High Wing Taildragger. Accommodation will cost approximately R11,000 per person (600 USD) for the entire trip, which includes breakfast at each location. Lunch, dinner and drinks will be for your own account.
If you would like to experience the Sling Africa Tour for yourself, book and pay before Sunday, April 2nd in order to avoid disappointment!
After reaching Cape Town in Part 2, Josh Flowers and Chelsea Smith of Aviation101, along with Chris Lammert and Keelyn Costello, reunite with friends and fly their Sling aircraft north from Stellenbosch through the Tankwa Karoo, before crossing into Namibia and exploring the spectacular Fish River Canyon. From formation flying and the Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race to fireside celebrations and an off-airport landing in the desert, the journey becomes less about following a plan and more about embracing whatever comes next—because sometimes the most memorable part of flying happens after the engine shuts down.
