Searched for this after going to Iron Maiden's website.
I hope I posted this correctly. If not, please make whatever corrections are necessary.
Wow. He LITERALLY flew them home.
What a nice thing to do.
THE Bruce Dickinson?!?
The cock of the walk, baby!!!
Hey Hey Hey, I’m Bruce Dickinson, I’m
just like everyone else. I put one
pant leg on at a time, but after i get
my pants on, I fly troops home.
That’s awesome! I knew Iron Maiden rocked, but Wow - Bruce really rocks! We had the pleasure of seeing Maiden back in June and they still kick a**! Way to go, Bruce!
Last week on VH1 was a documentary about the history of heavy metal. My Husband was pretty impressed with this gentleman. He was intelligent and spoke very well as opposed to some of the heavy metal drug addled has-beens.
Up the Irons!
Aces High
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we’ve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before its too late.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live. aces high.
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again.
Bandits at 8 oclock move in behind us
Ten me-109s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high.
Cool, I knew he was a jetliner pilot after watching his “Flying Heavy Metal” series on Discover Wings. It’s a good series... I downloaded it from a torrent, but parts of it are on You Tube.

Iron Maiden has always shown great support to the UK military. That was awesome Bruce did that.
Saw Maiden this summer as well. Awesome show. Best concert I’ve seen in a long time. One of my all time favorite bands.
Up the Irons!
Probably woulda got home faster, while glazing Iran on the way, if Eddie was there.
One of the absolutely funniest skits I’ve ever seen. He was brilliant! I don’t know if he killed Natalie Woods, but it was great!
I love Iron Maiden. I wish more people would see what their songs are about, war, religion, films, books, literature. The music doesn’t really fit the album covers.

Bruce has always been a pretty upstanding guy.
