Aero-TV: Sling At Oshkosh 2019 - New Planes, New Records, New Pilot Academy!

Sling TSi Flew Nonstop From California To Wisconsin For AirVenture

The Airplane Factory made an epic trip from California to Wisconsin for AirVenture, flying a Sling TSi airplane from Torrence, CA to Wittman Regional Airport on one tank of gas.

The Airplane Factory pilot Wayne Toddun told Aero-New Editor in Chief Jim Campbell that the flight took about 14 hours. During the flight, the crew took the airplane up to about 27,000 feet in a ceiling test of the airplane. 

The Airplane Factory has also established the Sling Pilot Academy’s Accelerated Airline Pilot Program, which breaks a lot of new ground in the debut of a program that is based on many years of owning and operating a conventional LSA and GA flight school. SPA utilizes Next-Generation’ training aircraft with glass panels, modern power plants, and the latest training equipment… including contemporary, motion-based digital flight simulators which mimic the flight training environment to a startling degree.

A diverse instructor staff not only mirrors the world that their students come from, but boasts a variety of backgrounds from a number of aviation disciplines.

Complete Professional Flight Training programs that may be undertaken in under 9 months, from first flight to course completion, are available now for under $63,000. And, while the price of the program is less than many other such courses, the company leaves nothing out.
