Iron Maiden’s plane, Ed Force One, is being used for mortals too. That’s right, it’s not just metal legends being flown around in it. Apparently when the band isn’t using it, this baby is flying normal people who can’t play instruments or write metal anthems. Sounds like blasphemy to me.
“The plane is regularly used for commercial flights when not in use by Iron Maiden, but usually the band’s distinctive livery is removed first.

I’m not gonna lie to you, I wouldn’t mind flying in that thing. I wouldn’t mind having Bruce as a pilot, either. Maybe there’s a business venture in there somewhere. I already have the slogan: “Up the irons… Literally!”
I should be in fucking Harvard Business School or something.
