Teen-Built Airplane Takes Flight In Naples (Wink News)

One of humanity’s greatest inventions was building an airplane that could soar through the skies. And now you have teens crafting those same wings, by themselves, that has soared in the skies over Naples.

In July, the Sling 2 will fly to Wisconsin for AirVenture Oshkosh, which draws more than 650,000 people from 90 countries. The teens are excited and thankful for the opportunity. Some of the plane builders said the next step is to get their pilot’s license. They want a career in aviation after realising what they can do if they put their mind to it.

“We’ve been talking about it and thinking that this was something that we wanted to do. We would hold monthly Young Eagle flight rallies where kids come out and get free airplane rides,” said Joan Zaleski, a community outreach coordinator with the Naples Youth Aviation Project.

The Tanqua Kuru is calling and we’re answering

It’s go‑time! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wide‑open Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and we’re answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for what’s become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.

But that’s not all!

There’s still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasn’t claimed… This isn’t a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And he’s chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is — when he rolls up to the start line… will you be there with him?
