Ed Force One

Ed Force One is a wonderful customized Boeing 757 owned by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, used to transport the band, 60 member crew and 12 tons of equipment as they tour the world. It’s named after Iron Maiden’s infamous mummy mascot “Eddie” and is piloted by Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson.

Here’s a Fox News report featuring a tour of Ed Force One and interview with Bruce.

I love planes, & as a Maidn fan, I love this plane. Great paint job, love the fact that Bruce Dickinson is the pilot, & I am happy to see that the mainstream media (Fox News & ABC News) have done stories on “EdForce One”.

I will be going to their June 11 show in Chicago, I hope they are using the plane on that leg of their current tour. If so, I hope to be able to see the plane at O’Hare if possible. I have not been to an airport to watch planes since September 11, 2001, I don’t know what sort of access I may have to places where it would be worth watching planes. Even if I can’t catch “Ed Force One”, I am looking forward to seeing Maiden.
