Many travel bands go by bus, but not Iron Maiden … they have their very own flying tour bus: a Boeing 757 named "Ed Force One", piloted by the band’s frontman Bruce Dickinson. And yes, that’s Eddie the band’s mascot on the plane’s tail.

Ahhhhhh, my first concert was Twisted Sister, opening for Maiden although I doubt they had a 757 back then! Can't believe they're still touring, good for 'em.

LOL...I played with a band who did that...bought a plane...played a world tour...got home...and the plane had eaten up such a HUGE amount money that they basically they broke even. Thank god I was a lowly musician...I still got paid.

Remember now, all that illegal downloading really, really, really hurts artists. Really.

Actually, the plane doesn't belong to Iron Maiden but to Astraeus, the UK charter company for which Bruce Dickinson works, as it were, part-time (as a Captain). It's on loan to IM for the tour, and was repainted for the purpose.
