Sling BLACK FRIDAY Starts Now
28 Nov 2025
…thanks to a young lady who has just smashed one of the highest world records! Torrance, California (06 November 2025) – Twenty-year-old South African pilot, Shannon Russell, has just flown higher than any woman ever has in her class of aircraft, reaching 32,059 feet in a Sling TSi. It’s a huge moment for a young lady whose record-breaking flight comes with a deeply personal story. One that started long before she ever left the ground.
Shannon grew up watching her inspiration take to the skies fearlessly. Her dad, Sean Russell, was Sling Aircraft South Africa’s Chief Test Pilot. When he passed away in an aircraft accident, Shannon was just 18. Six months later, instead of giving up on flying, she packed her bags and moved to the US, where her dreams in aviation took off.”
