Iron Maiden is in Sydney

[Naughty S]

Just saw earlier the Iron Maiden 757 at domestic 6.
Might need to call in sick for the concert.

[Cactusjack]

Great band. I wonder if they will let QF paint '666' down the side of it's aircraft ??

[Naughty S]

Not sure if AJ would be in it.

My 3 daughters think Number of the Beast is about my penchant
for farting in the car, followed by.... Run to the Hills

I still have a DVD of an old concert.
I've never seen 3 Brittney/Pink/Avril fans scatter so quick when
it gets a run on the surround system

[Clare Prop]

They are here to do the Soundwave festivals around the country. Perth next Monday!

Tell the boss it's for "professional development." When's the last time you saw a heavy metal band that had a 757 captain as the frontman?

[disturbedone]

It was parked next to the Strategic planes at Brissy yesterday.

Best. Paintjob. Ever.

[Dances With Dingoes]

B757

I thought only Kiwis and Scientologists flew in 757's. Is there a link here somewhere?

[Naughty S]

And Wally from earlier UK threads Bruce D is also a PPRuNer

[Wally Mk2]

............wowow not only has the lead singer got a plain funny name (well for a rock band anyway) he's a real pilot having been on PPRUNE...........there's no hope for him just like the rest of us:-)

Watched this show Flying Heavy Metal on Foxtel recently. Hosted by Bruce D. Very good.

[thorn bird]

He was a guest on our Citation the other day, natures gentelman,
I really enjoyed chatting with him.........sort of blotted my copybook but, or showed my age!!...had never heard of the band...I cant believe I asked what they played!!!...Oh well open mouth change feet!!!

What about David LeRoth from Van Halen. He is an airline captain also, I think with United ?
Somehow I cant see Ozzie Osbourne from Black Sabbath fame passing a medical !!!

[Dangnammit]

"Flying Heavy Metal' is a great series hosted by Bruce. It's a 5 dvd series which I had to watch all in one sitting.

Regarding the plane's paint, is it different these days?
I took this in 2008 at Melbourne.

[UKSqueeze]

Bruce Dickinson is a 757 pilot for Astraeus

David Lee Roth is not a pilot, he was a paramedic for a while though.

[185skywagon]

Dave Lee Roth

Yeah, could you imagine Dave the Rave in the front left seat?
Anything is possible I s'pose.

[Worrals in the wilds]

Regarding the plane's paint, is it different these days?

They've got two, apparently they're leased from Astraeus. I asked the same question on JB, there was a thread on there about a month ago.
Best corporate jets ever.

[Jack Ranga]

Mr Dickinson is proof of what I've been saying all along. You CAN fly on your own terms. You don't have to be tied to an airline or an employer if they are treating you like garbage. If you take his example and use it in your own financial circumstance it can be done.

I'll bet that he enjoys his flying much more than most pilots.

[Arm out the window]

That's a great shot of Bruce on stage - more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap!


(and they called it ... Stone 'enge!!)

[Shredder6]

The 'Somewhere Back in Time' DVD is awesome; outstanding footage of concerts and the world tour flying, plus a few bits of backstage.

Saw them when they toured in 2008
