Three Sling High Wings Fly To Oshkosh (African Pilot)
“I caught up with James Pitman at the Sling factory on his return to South Africa following the terrific journey of three Sling High Wing aircraft to EAA AirVenture, Oshkosh and, in his case, on to Greece for a family holiday with his partner, Andrea.
Following their 73 flight hours from Johannesburg to AirVenture in July this year, I caught up with the Sling team in Oshkosh as they landed just minutes before the start of the Wednesday airshow. With EAA AirVenture probably the finest opportunity to launch the new high-wing variation of the highly-regarded low-wing Sling TSi, the South African manufacturer did this in spectacular fashion by flying the development prototype, as well as production serial numbers one and two, all the way from Johannesburg.”
