Zimbabwe-based Slingers, we are super excited to announce that Mike and James will be participating in the 2024 Zim Air Rally this weekend from June 6th to 10th, flying our respective Sling High Wings, tricycle, ZU-SHW and taildragger, ZU-TDR. This rally promises to be an exhilarating adventure and they are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to meet up with fellow Sling enthusiasts and aviators.
The itinerary for the rally is packed with breathtaking destinations and ample opportunities for camaraderie. Here’s a look at the planned stops:
The Zim Air Rally promises to be a spectacular event, celebrating the beauty of Zimbabwe from above and the guys cannot wait to embark so come and say hi if you can.
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?
