Wouldn’t someone from Led Zepplin be more appropriate?

Really? I didn’t know there was a contest, but I read “Iron Maiden” and saw a photo of Moochelle’s ass filling up a hangar, and the first thing I thought of was the refrain from Iron Maiden’s (now) most famous song, “Run to the hills/ Run for your lives!”
In fact, “Enslaving the young and destroying the old/ Run to the hills/ Run for your lives!”

“Bruce Dickinson was Iron Maidens frontman; hes a fencing master, a military historian and a licensed pilot. Hes also an avid soccer player.
Is there anything this guy doesnt do?”
Coolest guys in the last 50 years, Bruce Dickinson and William Smith (the actor).

Concerning this thread, I really wish Lemmy were a pilot too so we could expand the conversation.

In addition to the other accomplishments listed above, Bruce has also published at least one novel.

Propulsion unit.

The new airship is also friendly to the environment, doing the same job as a conventional aircraft on a quarter of the fuel...And a whole lot more slowly, especially when the wind is up.

He still is their frontman.
He’s also a published author and screenwriter, and part-time TV presenter. He’s done some shows for the Discovery Channel.
Fencing master is accurate. He was offered a spot on the UK Olympic team, but turned it down.
And not just a licensed pilot, but a commercial pilot to boot. He’s flown British soldiers home once or twice.
And he’s captain of Ed Force One, the band’s own commercial plane, transporting the band, crew and all equipment across the globe on whirlwind tours.

It’s bad enough that it looks like a butt... did they have to put hemoroids around the anus?

It does look like the south side of a north bound FLOTUS, doesn’t it?
