The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“Taking advantage of the HW stopping off in the UK on its way back from Oshkosh, we met up with Sling Aircraft’s UK distributor, Tim Hardy, on a breezy August afternoon at the stunning grass airfield of Top Farm. I was very much looking forward to testing this new high-wing four-seater for two particular reasons.”

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.
