“On Wednesday, 24 July, I attended the Sling Aircraft award presentation by EAA’s Charlie Becker to Mike Blyth and the Sling Aircraft team as the 2024 recipient of the esteemed August Raspet Memorial Award. The award constitutes a very satisfying recognition of Sling’s development work over the past 18 years and is a significant milestone in their ongoing journey to become the world’s most loved and respected developer and manufacturer of light aircraft.”
