Share YOUR Sling Story

“Back in the spring of 2022, we had the opportunity to fly to Johannesburg, South Africa, to fly the brand new Sling High Wing prototype. While we were there, we met airline pilot, Linda Sollars, who was assembling the very first kit under the tutelage of Sling Aircraft’s factory builder support program. She completed the airplane, then flew it across the Atlantic to Oshkosh, arriving during AirVenture 2022.
We caught up with her today as she is displaying the same aircraft at the Sling booth during AirVenture 2023, and that smile has nothing phony about it.”

Slingers, we’re commemorating an important milestone this year. 18th October marks 17 years since our very first flight and 20 years since our very first aircraft design! As such, we’re celebrating in style with a Sling Birthday Breakfast Fly-In at The Berg Air Lifestyle Centre, El Mirador Airstrip (FALQ), in the Drakensberg on Saturday, 18th October.
