We all know by now that not having a trip to plan for, makes James and Mike unhappy boys indeed. So, in the spirit of previous TAF adventures, a decision was made over a couple of beers that, instead of shipping a newly built Sling 2 to Belgium, James would take the “customer acceptance flight” to a new level. He’s doing this by flying the new owner to Belgium, via the East Coast of Africa. So, in the second week of May this year, James Pitman and Pierre van Wetter will be flying a Sling 2 to SONACA in Belgium! This web page will serve as the virtual home of all those who are interested in the progress of the trip, from before the wheels even leave the ground.
