“One of the highlights of this year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh was a presentation given by Capt. Linda Sollars (JetBlue) at the event’s Homebuilt Hangar. She recounted how two years ago while working closely with Sling Aircraft on their first high-wing design, she purchased the manufacturer’s newest transport in kit form. Sollars then assembled the aircraft at Sling HQ in Johannesburg, South Africa, before flying it to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 2022 fly-in and convention.”
