The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“Na n epiese tog van 8,902 seemyl het die vlieeniers wat vroeer vandeesmaand in Suid-Afrika met drie plaaslik geboude Sling High Wing-vliegtuie na Oshkosh vertrek het, vandeesweek in Wisconsin in die VSA aangekom. Die drie Vlieeniers en hul bemanningslede het op 17 Julie by Lanseria opgestyg en daarna in verskillende bene na Luanda in Angola, daarna na Accra in Ghana en toe na Praia in Kaap Verde gevlieg. Van daar af het n reuseskof van 14 uur oor die Atlantiese Oseaan na Barbados gevolg.”

The adventure continues! For once, there are no border crossings to navigate, no custom stops, and no major travel plans on the schedule. Just a quiet day at home. Naturally, that doesn’t last long… When Sling Chief Test Pilot, Riaan Denner, has an idea, you know things are about to get interesting. In this episode, Josh and Chelsea take to the skies over Johannesburg for some banner towing, go behind the scenes at the incredible Jonker Sailplanes factory, make a completely unplanned stop to meet a very special young zebra, and then set off on the next major leg of the journey — heading south towards Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town.
