The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Lunar energy that recharges your Sling Aircraft? That’s right folks. Introducing our latest offering, Sling Aircraft Lunar Paint, which will utilise revolutionary technology to recharge our Sling range of Light Sport Aircraft in the hours of darkness, extending its’ range even further.
This latest offering demonstrates our commitment to exploring new charging technologies to help lay the groundwork for zero-emission aviation. In addition, we have purchased 20 Acres of lunar land in order to further expand our Sling Aircraft Lunar Paint research and development efforts!
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.
