The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Mark your calendars!
AERO South Africa 2025 is touching down at Lanseria International Airport from 25 to 27 June, and Team Sling will be there in full force.
As one of South Africa’s premier aviation events, AERO South Africa will feature demo flights, aircraft fly-ins, hands-on workshops, business matchmaking, and the latest in innovation.
And we’re bringing the best of Sling with us.
Swing by Stand B5 to meet the Sling team where we will be showcasing the serious side of Sling. The Sling LSA trainer and the Sling High Wing will be in focus this year — perfect for flight schools, pilot academies, and aerial surveillance operations in mining and farming respectively. If you’re in the business of aviation, you won’t want to miss what these aircraft can do.
Expect high energy…
… next-level aircraft, and plenty of face time with the team behind the magic.
See you at Stand B5.
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.
