The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
The TSi flies hard and fast – the sexy, sporty, young gun that can handle the mission, so long as you don’t overload it and treat it like a pack horse. But if you prefer to use your plane for holidays with the family (two kids and your wife who packs her suitcase like she’s going away for a month), then it’s a good idea to consider the High Wing – especially if that holiday is off the beaten path, now with their new big bush tyres.”
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.
