“I arrived at Tedderfield Air Park early on Saturday morning 17 October 2020 to see many aircraft, mainly Slings, had already landed at the airfield. Strict COVID-19 protocols were observed as the visitors enjoyed their breakfast under an assortment of umbrellas in the sunshine.
Andrew Pitman told me that Sling had recently celebrated orders for the 600th aircraft including 328 Sling 2’s and 281 Sling 4’s and Sling TSi’s sold totaling 609 Slings of all types sold. This is an incredible record for a South African aircraft manufacturer, which certainly rivals many other light aircraft types in the world.
Throughout the morning, various hangars were open for visitors to look at how the Sling is manufactured and this included sub-assemblies of the new Sling High Wing under construction.”

Team Sling will be camping out from next Friday to Sunday, 6th to 8th March, for a full weekend of flying, demos, good company, and proper aviation vibes. We’re bringing the Sling TSi and Sling High Wing along for demo flights on Friday, 6th March — so if you’re serious about owning your own Sling, this is your chance to experience the difference firsthand. From STOL competitions and spot landings to skydivers, hot air balloons, Harvards, workshops and yes… the Sling pool is coming too, so pack those cozzies😉 — it’s going to be aviation heaven.
