Iron Maiden (Astraeus) Boeing 757-200 “Ed Force One” - Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 2008 – G-OJIB

Pioneers of the British heavy metal scene, Iron Maiden are the most successful band in their genre. Founded in 1975, Iron Maiden are a global phenomenon, having performed in over 60 countries around the world. For each of their massive world tours in 2008, 2011 and 2016, the band chartered a specially branded aircraft. Nicknamed “Ed Force One” after the band’s mascot Eddie, each aircraft sported a design of the album and corresponding world tour. Pilot was none other than lead singer Bruce Dickinson himself, as he was also a commercial pilot with the charter airline Astraeus, the owner of the Boeing 757 aircraft used on their 2008 and 2011 tours. With a mummified “Eddie” on its tail, Ed Force One transported the band to 90 concerts for the Somewhere Back In Time Tour in 2008 and 2009. A documentation of the tour, titled “Flight 666”, with the 757 in a major role was shown in cinemas worldwide. © 2021 Iron Maiden LLP.
