Yes, Iron Maiden return for another tour… and have chartered an Astraeus Airlines 757-200 Combi to help them on the tour.
And of course, Ed Force 1 (better known as G-STRX) will be captained for parts of it’s journey by the lead singer – Bruce Dickinson who is a qualified pilot who works for … That’s right Astreaus!
Bruce is quoted as saying
“As a professional pilot and a professional singer with Iron Maiden, there was no doubt that Astraeus Airlines were the people for the job. The reliability was superb, and the outcome exceeded the band’s wildest expectations. A unique airline, for a unique experience. Astraeus Airlines made it happen!”
