7 Jun 2026
Africa’s first general aviation trade show continues to gain momentum with the introduction of Demo Flights, Africa’s first ever “Park & Sell” and Wonderboom’s biggest fly-in yet – Aero Wonderboom! Join Team TAF from 4 – 6 July 2019, Booth OD11, Sling Aircraft Exhibit, where Wonderboom National Airport in Pretoria, Tshwane, will open its doors to welcome over 4000 registered trade visitors looking to experience the latest in the general aviation industry.
The 3-day event is presented in partnership with AERO Friedrichshafen – Europe’s largest general aviation show and will feature the latest products and innovations from local and international exhibiting companies, a wide spectrum of aircraft on display, as well as free-to-attend workshops where visitors can stay abreast of the latest developments.
On Saturday 6 July, AERO South Africa will host an official fly-in for visitors traveling to the show with their own aircraft. We invite all Slingers to join us and experience Wonderboom’s biggest fly-in yet! See you there!
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.
