I toured Sling, a local business at the Torrance Airport. They manufacture and maintain small propeller planes in Torrance and train commercial pilots through their pilot license academy there.

I met co-owners Matt Liknaitzky and Jean d'Assonville who shared their great passion for flying. Matt also lives in Torrance and emphasized how Sling is working on noise mitigation and being good neighbors.

I also tried their new flight simulator. Good fun flying over the beautiful South Bay, but I don’t think I'll be flying any time soon! Thanks to Jim Gates, member of the Torrance Airport Association, for joining us.
