The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Join Team Sling, our Sling 2 and our mighty Sling TSi at NAMPO Park, Bothaville at the aircraft parking area in conjunction with NAMPO Harvest Day, 16 to 20 May 2022!
Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day, the biggest agricultural show in the Southern hemisphere, is after a two-year hiatus ready to present a showstopper outside Bothaville and for the first time in history, will be presented over 5 days!
With a full list of exhibitors and infrastructure that is well-distributed, NAMPO promises to provide a safe and peaceful family-friendly experience offering something for everyone. For those who have always wondered, and for every return visitor doubting if they would have forgotten the sights and sounds, join us and EXPERIENCE IT for yourself!
Please bear in mind, visitors must be in possession of a valid vaccination certificate or unvaccinated but in possession of a valid certificate of a negative COVID-19 test, obtained not more than 72 hours prior to entering the park.
See you there Slingers!
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.
