The lead singer of Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, who works as a pilot for the UK charter airline Astraeus

So rocking a stadium full of peoples' faces off doesn't pay as well as it used to, I guess.

oh it does but foolish be the man who has all eggs in one basket. Bruce saw this early and provided for it, got a commercial pilots license in case music went to crap, well that and he always had a passion about flying. pretty sure he isn't in it for the money

TeddyBallGame: SCREAM FOR ME FRIENDLY SKYS!

Love that plane. When it was in Sydney recently i drove past it daily. One awesome sight.

THE Bruce Dickinson?

White man came
Across the sea
He brought us planes
And gave up leave

standed?

Won't his arms get tired?

RUN TO THE PLANE!
FLY FOR YOUR LIVES!

Bucky Katt: standed?


They were on standed-by and couldn't get seateded.

If the airline standed them, does that mean that they're all gonna get laid by the lead singer of Iron Maiden?

Bucky Katt
standed?
There's nothing wose.

Bruce with the save!


That man is a god.

Of course he did. Bruce is teh awesome!

Standed what? Who the hell is Stan?

Rethorn: If the airline standed them, does that mean that they're all gonna get laid by the lead singer of Iron Maiden?

From what I am told, that's not a bad circumstance at all.

THE Bruce Dickinson?

Yes, just not A Bruce Dickinson ....


Go Bruce!

666, the number of the flight.

to quote a farker in another Iron Maiden thread

SCREAM FOR ME FIRST CLASS!!!!

"Good evening ladies and gentelmen this is your captain speaking. We'll shortly be landing at London's Heathrow Airport where the local time is TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO MINUTES ' TIL MIDNIGHT!!!"

Maybe Steve Morse can lend a hand, too.

Many (if not most) bis jets in Europe are registered in the US for tax befits and preferential selection for crews with international experience.

If that plane is N-registered they better have a part 135 certificate to be carrying passengers for hire. You don't even have to accept payment to be classified "for hire".

Bruce Dickinson is made of Blood, Sweat and Win.

wow, can you believe it a headbanger like that a pilot.
Fark, Now I know I can be an Astronaut.

/Aces High is too obvious

Youre children of the damned
Your backs against the wall
You turn into the flight
Youre burning in the night

You all lose for not posting a pic of album cover from Aces High

farfigneugan: Bruce Dickinson is made of Blood, Sweat and Win.

That.

Bruce is what happens when you don't just do something with your life, you do some things with your life. Nothing to do with luck, he just works like a sonofabiatch.

And Steve Harris owns a pub, must go there one day.

Eat it John Travolta!

I saw some package deals in Metal Hammer where Bruce would fly you from London to an Iron Maiden gig on the Continent and then back again. How farking cool would that be?

Live to fly, fly to live, do or die...

Maiden RULEZ, Bruce is the MAN, and all you little girls making fun are beneath his notice.

Looks like a Pole. She's too thin to be a Brit. Also, Polish chicks dress like 80's hookers.

Somewhere, Steve Harris feels cheated out of some spotlight.

Are you under the impression, having not RTFA, that they were flown home on the Iron Maiden jet ?

yes charmer The Bruce Dickinson. All of the passengers of that flight left with gold plated dippers.

Wow. Interesting dude. I never knew much about him.

So rocking a stadium full of peoples' faces off doesn't pay as well as it used to, I guess.

Actually, it doesn't.

Most bands toured to support new releases and digital lets people just sort of grab all that music for free, and the band loses label support that they would have had for tour costs because the labels are losing their asses, too.

Free music is a nice idea, but the people who pirate it are actually paving over the careers of the bands they say they care about.

Either way, being a rock star who flies jets has to be in the top 20 of "kids who lived out their dreams".

C'mon. Just the t-shirt sales will keep him in gravy for the rest of his life.

I heard it was because, um, he enjoys doing it...

Mobro4000: She's too thin to be a Brit.
Wholly untrue.

Very true. And awesome.

Bruce and Brian May should start a club called "rock stars who want second careers."

oddly for FARK I didn't see one single post making fun of this guy. Just everyone attesting to his awesomeness.

Oldiron_79: You all lose for not posting a pic of album cover from Aces High

Seconded. This is what I came for.

When you tour the world it's nice to be able to fly yourself and the band.

/standby for what?
//I'm ready now!

I love how Bruce Dickinson having a commercial pilots license is actually news to some of you.

Yeah, me too. That's how I find stuff out.

OK... For my son. Because he ROCKS and loves Bruce.

I used to have that poster in my bedroom. Now I want one of these (pops) ...

Gary Numan is also a test pilot for an experimental aircraft company. It seems like the cool 2nd career to have.
