Bruce Dickinson in Poland   by Mark Wakacje

Bruce Dickinson – Iron Maiden singer often the case in Poland, as … Boeing professional pilot!
“Death on the road” is the title of one of the boards of British band Iron Maiden. If the lead singer Bruce Dickinson sang for fun, “Death on the air, could cause the bankruptcy of their employer.

Legendary veteran heavy metal, Bruce Dickinson, the last few years is a pilot line Astraeus Boeing 757 Airlines. According to many discussions, after the excesses of alcohol and hulaszczym mode of living, he saw and decided to lead a blameless and exemplary manner. At the same time he began to realize their greatest dream – decided to fly professionally. He thought about this for years. Caught the bug as a child, he watched the air show, airshow in the events that took place near his home in the English county of Nottinghamshire. In addition, Bruce’s uncle was a military pilot English RAF, which is commemorated with pride in the family. When Bruce grew up a little in implementing it effectively inhibited the desire and confidence to reclaim the memories of school education. There was an eagle in the natural sciences. Enjoyed a folding model airplanes and was confident that the end of his adventure with aviation.

Being John Travolta
He added encouragement to team-mate, drummer Nico McBrain, who easily passed course, and soon we are proud to be summed up in a drawer document authorizing them to pilot private aircraft. As she spoke Dickinsonie ambition and drove him to action. Soon he podołał procedures and for the next tour the band went on longer as a captain Cessna 421st
That it was not enough. The longer the little Cessna piloted, the more often dreamed of adventure, with huge communication machines. In talks humorous points out that although the group did Iron Maiden disputes financial success, he can not afford to buy his own Boeing 707, as did John Travolta.
There is thus nothing other than seek employment. He sent his CV to various airlines, concealing the fact that Iron Maiden is the singer. As fate would have it in 1990 at the instigation of his friend – professional pilot – Dickinson arrived at the center of aviation training at London’s Heathrow. This friend had to pass routine tests in a professional flight simulator. Bruce sat down next to him, to serve as dry as a second pilot. Instructor, which allowed heavymetalowcowi on this adventure, was an experienced captain John Mahon, who was chief operating line of the British World Airlines. Dickinson fared extremely well. After the training has established a conversation, during which Mahon revealed that the pilot is looking. Soon after singer sat in his chair Boeing 757 first officer flying the colors of the BWA. He gained experience in charter flights from Gatwick airport in London to the Mediterranean and West Africa.

Life after death
Carrier fell after the events of September 11, 2001. Part of the team kierwoniczej BWA decided to establish a new airline. Were taken to work quickly and as early as January 2002 was Astraeus, and were also invited to cooperate with Dickinson. This allowed him to seamlessly continue your career pilot. Not far from this was in recognition of his vocals on stage hevymetalowej. It was stressed that in a relatively short time, Bruce has acquired many skills and is a great material for a captain. I was actually in 2007, singer switched from right to left seat in the cockpit, thus officially becoming the commander of the aircraft.
In fact, few people are getting into a white Boeing 757 in a typical painting with three gold stars on a blue tail of the aircraft, he realizes that the captain will hevymetalowy legendary musician. I even heard a speaker the words “This is your captain speaking Bruce Dickinson”, it’s hard to run into is that we go with someone more than just the captain. Looking at the situation with a grain of salt, no small experience for the vulnerable must be giving his life for 2-3 hours under the command of a guy singing the song “Flight of Icarus” and the addition of styling one of the albums “Life after Death ‘…
Few people know that Bruce Dickinson has hosted in Poland not only the occasion of the Iron Maiden concert. There is also frequented as a pilot. And not only in the colors of the parent line. At the end of April this year, rocker sat at the controls of a Boeing 757 from Astraeus wylizingowanego by Air Italy Poland. He took a flight from Warsaw to Hurghada (Egypt), and another – to Monastir (Tunisia). Dickinson in December 2007, also landed in Kraków. This time it was a cruise for British Airways.

Skeleton in the skies
At the end of 2007 the board came up with the line Astereus quite controversial idea. It was decided to promote the carrier through Dickinsonowi, and Dickinson by the carrier. Since then, the flagship Boeing 757 became the so-called logojetem, a plane in which the colors of the airline was replaced by something else. So far, one of the most famous and most recognizable logojetów were, inter alia, Austrian Airlines painting McDonalds, Germanwings advertiser T-Mobile, or Embraer LOT with a heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. All but eclipsed Boeing in the painting … Iron Maiden. The team immediately called Ed Force One, which is a play on words referring to the skeleton and the plane of President of the United States. The name was officially placed on the side of the hull, just under the British flag. That the skeleton is also not ignored. A sizeable figure, with horrifying red eyes, found himself next to the front entrance of the aircraft. Along the hull was led blue-yellow sign with the name of the team. Of course, a characteristic aggressive “heavy metal” type. Completes the whole macabre monster Eddi like mummies, biting steel chain shackles, surrounded by blue lightning. Logo Astraeus was a modest place in the engine housing.
Incidentally, the aircraft for Air Italy Poland proved to be unlucky. In late April, the machine had two crashes in two days. Thus, not dowiozła Polish tourists on last minute holidays. Each time the pilots turned back to Warsaw. At the controls was not, however, the Dickinson.
Fans approach these events with humor. They believe that the plane Iron Maiden can not behave normally. It is just as defiant and rebellious as the members of the team.
