The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“Slingers, friends, family and supporters came together to welcome home the Sling High Wing (SHW) Heroes as they touched down at Tedderfield Airpark in Eikenhof, as well as to celebrate the sale of the 1,000th Sling Aircraft on November 12th.
This follows the lengthy travels of James Pitman, Juan Peter Schulze, Linda Sollars, Matt Cohen and Mike Blyth and William Stiles from Sling HQ in South Africa to AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin, USA.”

The adventure continues! For once, there are no border crossings to navigate, no custom stops, and no major travel plans on the schedule. Just a quiet day at home. Naturally, that doesn’t last long… When Sling Chief Test Pilot, Riaan Denner, has an idea, you know things are about to get interesting. In this episode, Josh and Chelsea take to the skies over Johannesburg for some banner towing, go behind the scenes at the incredible Jonker Sailplanes factory, make a completely unplanned stop to meet a very special young zebra, and then set off on the next major leg of the journey — heading south towards Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town.
