Share YOUR Sling Story

“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.”

Slingers, we’re commemorating an important milestone this year. 18th October marks 17 years since our very first flight and 20 years since our very first aircraft design! As such, we’re celebrating in style with a Sling Birthday Breakfast Fly-In at The Berg Air Lifestyle Centre, El Mirador Airstrip (FALQ), in the Drakensberg on Saturday, 18th October.
