The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
Good day Team Sling.
Tankwa Tented Camp is a place where you can lose and find yourself at the same time. Halfway between Ceres and Calvinia in the Tankwa Karoo, you can find it along the R 355 which is a 207 km stretch and the longest uninterrupted dirt road in South Africa. Situated on Stonehenge Private Nature Reserve, the Tankwa Tented Camp is bordered on two sides by the Tankwa National Park, making it a wonderful base for exploring the indigenous fauna and flora, and everything else this fascinating biodiversity hotspot has to offer.
It is here you will find team Sling for the Sling Aircraft Fly Away Weekend, April 8th to 10th 2022!
The adventure begins! A month. A fleet of gorgeous aircraft. One unforgettable adventure across Southern Africa with Josh Flowers, Chelsea Smith, their good friends Chris Lammert and Keelyn Costello, and some of us from Sling HQ. In Part 1 of Aviation101’s four-part series, the journey starts with their arrival in South Africa at Sling HQ in the south of Johannesburg, meeting the aircraft that will become their companions, ZU-TSI and ZU-DFU, and taking the first steps — or rather, first flights — into the unknown.
