Taking delivery of our new Sling - 3rd Sling for the flight school

November was an exciting month for me and Durban Skyye flight School as Brands and I flew up to Johannesburg in our Sling FYA to take delivery of our new Sling Trainer for the flight school - ZDF.

Our new plane "Yankee"

The branding for our flight school plane was ready on Friday so Brad and I spent this afternoon applying the decals... looking good!!

Where the sky's no limit!

I bought the plane the day I was standing in The Airplane Factory USA's hangar, so it is fitting that the call sign and registration of our plane is Foxtrot Yankee Alpha (FYA) so I had to call the plane "Yankee" and put a USA flag alongside our own South African flag on the fusilage. I was also in the States to obtain my USA Seaplane rating.
