Sling’s 1,000 and onwards!
Guy Leitch chats to Sling Aircraft Co-CEO, James Pitman, about our company’s rapid growth.
GL: “Congratulations on over 1,000 Sling deliveries. Many of these were sold as kits – do you have any idea how many are flying?”
JP: “We’ve taken orders for 1,250 Slings: 550 Sling 4s, 450 Sling 2s and 250 Sling High Wings. They are sold as either ready-to-fly, quick-build kits or as standard kits, so we cannot be certain exactly how many are now flying. The number, though, is more than 750.”
