I'm not sure who ejected this, but they obviously aren't metal. \,,/,

I think Iron Maiden goes on tour just so Bruce can get some big iron flight time! :-)

Private jet. It's not a Lear or Falcon, it's a Boening 744/L!

actually, I guess it's a weird sort of 'wet-lease'
Ha! Sounds better for Iron Maiden to have a 'wet-lease' anyway!

Saw plane at airport in Ft. Lauderdale before the show, awesome!!! That is the way to travel if you are going to 6 continents and have tons of freight! Interestingly enough, earlier on the day of the show they flew it to Nassau (half hour) and back to pick up bassist Steve Harris who lives there. That had to be an expensive pickup, you think they would have sent a Lear instead. No wonder ticket prices are so high!
