200th Sling delivered

I am incredibly proud, as Durban Distributor and Agent of the Sling Aircraft,  to be associated with The Airplane Factory which has delivered its 200th aircraft. This is an amazing achievement for this Johannesburg team of guys and it pushes The Airplane Factory to within the top 10 aircraft manufacturers in the world today, with assembly plants in Johannesburg, the United States, Australia and home-kitbuilders worldwide. I am also proud to be the part owner of two of these fine aircraft on register at our Flight School. They have carried me around Table Mountain and Saldanha Bay in the west of South Africa, over the Victoria Falls in the north of Southern Africa and up Mozambique in the north east of Southern Africa and next year will take us across the Mozambique Channel to Madagascar... nothing like the achievement of the guys from The Airplane Factory who have circumnavigated the world twice in their Slings, but exhilarating nevertheless to be part of this adventure.

Check out the YouTube video clip as they make international history.

Sling Durban Agents

Our flight school has been appointed by The Airplane Factory as their Sling aircraft Durban Agents. 

This means that we are now the official distributors of this incredible aircraft in Durban. Thanks guys, it really has been a journey with our own Sling ZDL # 34 and we have watched you grow from strength to strength of the past few short years. We are delighted to be part of this amazing team of incredibly driven people who have become our Sling family as much as our fellow aviators and friends who also own Sling aircraft.

This blog started when I took my first steps towards getting my pilot's licence and my decision at that early stage to buy a Sling airplane after looking at everything else that was on the market. I have loved every step of the journey and that journey has had our own Sling ZDL as an integral part. With the Durban agency I hope to see the family in Durban grow even stronger.

Thanks guys for this opportunity.
