IRON MAIDEN Singer\'s \'Ed Force One\' Video Tour

IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson's video tour of Ed Force One — the wonderful customized Boeing 757 owned by the MAIDEN, used to transport the band, its 60-member crew and 12 tons of equipment as they tour the world — can be viewed in two parts below.

Ed Force One is named after MAIDEN's infamous mummy mascot "Eddie" and is piloted by Dickinson.

Astraeus Airlines is once again the principal supplier of cargo and passenger carriage on the 2011 leg of IRON MAIDEN's "The Final Frontier World Tour", which kicked off on February 11 in Moscow. This has already seen the airline taking in some new stops, such as Singapore and Jakarta in Indonesia.

Astraeus Airlines previously converted a Boeing 757-200 into a combi aircraft with 20 business class seats with a seat pitch of 59 inches and 54 premium economy seats with 39 inches. The rear passenger cabin was converted to carry additional band equipment weighing up to 6.5 tons.

"As a professional pilot and a professional singer with IRON MAIDEN, there was no doubt that Astraeus Airlines were the people for the job," stated Bruce Dickinson. "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!"

Brand new photos of Ed Force One can be viewed below (courtesy of IronMaiden.com).

Dickinson, who is a longstanding pilot with Astraeus, told CNN.com in a 2007 interview, "Aviation's been kicking around my family for as long as I can remember; my uncle was in the RAF. But I always thought I was too stupid. I was useless at maths and majored in history at university, so I thought history majors don't become pilots, let alone rock stars. And then our drummer learned to fly so I said if a drummer can learn to fly then anyone can."

He added, "I never dreamed I would end up flying an airliner. I ended up flying IRON MAIDEN around on tour in a little eight-seat, pressurized, twin-engine plane. Basically we were flying round all the world's major airports, flew across the Atlantic and back, which was quite an adventure. At the end I thought I really want to fly something bigger, but I can't afford it — I can't buy my own 707. If I'm going to do that I have to get a job."

On how the thrill of piloting a 757 compares to taking to the stage with MAIDEN:

"It's a different kind of buzz. Obviously you aren't leaping around the flight deck yelling and screaming, but you have to manage situations... Flying at 35,000 feet is an internal thing, really. Whereas 35,000 people, that's just showing off."

On whether he will be hanging up his leopard-skin spandex forever:

"I could never contemplate giving up music. I have to say I've always been interested in planes, the only difference is I started to fly the darn things 15 years ago. I don't see why I should give up either of them. People say 'Why do you need a second job?' I say 'Why do you need to breathe?'"

Хорош.

SatanbI4 , в первом видосе Брюс сказал,что главная фишка самолётика в том,что Они сделали его "Полугрузовым" - тем самым экономя время на перелётах и строительстве сцены. Так бы пришлось на двух самолётах летать - в одном все чуваки ,а в другом весь хлам! ) UP THE IRONS! =)

А во втором говорит про оптимизацию пространства для перевозки всего )
