Share YOUR Sling Story
25 Sep 2025
“For this article, “I am Brand”, we have selected a truly unique and exciting South African story.
Sling Aircraft situated at Tedderfield Airpark, Johannesburg, South Africa, is a hangar complex where the Sling range of Aircraft are designed and manufactured. This is where the magic happens.
Adventurers, aviators and founders of Sling Aircraft, Mike Blyth and James Pitman, have created, tried and tested an almost mythical story by flying the Sling around the world twice.”
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.
