“Linda’s love affair with aviation was born as a young girl reading Snoopy and the Red Baron and watching movies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, she realised at that young age that she belonged in the sky. In the 70’s, this was easier said than done, aviation was and still is a male-dominated world but Linda wasn’t about to let her dream die.
Through all these years, Linda never stopped flying and maintaining her own aircraft and when the time came to replace her trusty Cessna T210 she looked at many different aircraft. After much thought and consideration, she decided on the newly released Sling High Wing. The remarkable little South African designed four-seater seemed to tick all the boxes.”

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.
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?
