41 stunning AAD Airshow pics

Cape Town – If planes and tanks, helicopters and engines, white lines across the sky and splashes of camo here and there get you excited, you were either at the Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo over the past weekend or wishing you were there.

The premier aerospace event on the African continent kicked off with a trade show on Wednesday last week at the Waterkloof Airport Base in Centurion, followed by a much-anticipated public air show over the weekend.

We checked out the AAD2014 hashtag on Instagram and Twitter to check out all the actio.

Here it is along with a few other cool snaps.
