“My introduction to Captain Linda Sollars on Friday 10 June at the Sling Aircraft manufacturing facility at Tedderfield Airpark was amazing. From the very moment I was introduced to this dynamic lady, I became intrigued with her aviation life story and her quest to fly her Sling High Wing, serial number one, the first production kit aircraft, all the way from South Africa to the United States together with two other High Wing Slings to the world’s largest aviation celebration, AirVenture Oshkosh.”
– Athol Franz (African Pilot)
It’s go‑time! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wide‑open Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and we’re answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for what’s become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.
There’s still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasn’t claimed… This isn’t a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And he’s chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is — when he rolls up to the start line… will you be there with him?
