The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Everyone is Welcome! Registrations are open, accommodation is available and a shuttle service will be available within 5 km radium (in the town itself) of the Airfield. Please ensure that you check your location before hand. Join Team TAF for a weekend of aircraft competitions, rally and spot landings, awards dinner and dance, food, fun and sun! We look forward to seeing you there. 26 to 28 April 2019, Vryheid Airfield, KZN.
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.
