Re: New Airplane Seen
Still looking for a name ? Barak. (as in Obama). Register the name while you CAN. Yes, you can. Easy on the tongue, and in the news for at least the next 8 years.
Will sell well internationally. Represents change, freshness, hope, elegance, youth, sex appeal, beauty, lightness and technology. Plus it originated from Africa, which it does.
"GF traffick, this is Echo Tango Oscar, BARAK, routing ...."

Re: New Airplane Seen
Nice one, Kloot Piloot, but a name has already been chosen.
She is now known as the Sling - see the cover story in February's SA Flyer.

No wonder she flies like a dream, she's built with one!

Re: New Airplane Seen
Who shot the president ... ?
Slingshot the president ! Sting did not shoot the president.
I agree, Sling does not match the grace of the aerrie.
Bliksem would have been 1st prize in the international arena.
But, ... it is not my plane !
Congratulations anyway on the baptism !
I reckon it can still be called a nick name: Bliksemse Sling Barak !

When ATC asks what aircraft type, have some Capie use his broad "brei' accent.I reckon it can still be called a nick name: Bliksemse Sling Barak !

When will the website be up?
Re: New Airplane Seen
i also dont like the name 'Sling' - agree with George - too close to Sting - but who am I to say - Its not like I have the moolah to stand in line for one
Lovely plane though! Loved the write-up in SAF - cant wait for more info.
PS I like the cowling - something unique

I don't think she flew on Saturday, when I saw her in the morning there was still LOTS to do with wires hanging out and clekos to be replaced by rivets...Stephan van Tonder wrote:So did she fly on saturday.
