“We, in sunny South Africa, went into an almost complete lock down on March 17th due to Covid-19. However, at the Sling Aircraft factory in Tedderfield Airpark, work on their latest development, the Sling High Wing, continued. The cancellation of AirVenture 2020 might have offered them a respite, but it was then decided to get the first prototype, a Taildragger, ready to be flown to Sun ‘n Fun in Florida in the USA in April 2021 where it would remain. The second prototype, a Tricycle, would then be flown to Oshkosh later in the year. Afterwards, as has now become part of the Sling’s tradition, it will be flown around the world.”

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.
