Well the Africa Aerospace and Defense Show for 2012 is nearly over but it is still going on. Started September 19, the same day as the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) and will run until tomorrow, the 23rd. A number of business jet manufacturers are at the show. It is a show that leans more towards the defense side of the aviation industry. However, some of the business jet manufacturers are using it as a chance to showcase some of their Aircraft especially with Africa's booming industrial/mining sectors. Companies like Airbus Corporate Jet and Hawker Beechcraft are there displaying, ACJ has an A318 business jet there, while HBC has the Hawker 4000, King Air 350 ER, King Air 350i, King Air 250, King Air C90GTx and the Bonanza G36. ***
Always wanted to drop in on one of these trade shows. I assume you need a pass to attend, or can the public buy tickets as well?
