RARE: Iron Maiden "Ed Force One" Boeing 747-428 [TF-AAK] Beautiful Landing in Toronto on RWY 23

- Hello everyone,
UP THE IRONS! Here is the moment we've all been waiting for! On Saturday, April 2, 2016, hundreds of metal fans and plane fanatics gathered around Airport Road, close to RWY 23 at Toronto Pearson to witness the arrival of the infamous British metal band, Iron Maiden, in their iconic Ed Force One jumbo jet. The band played their concert at the Air Canada Centre the following day as part of their "Book of Souls World Tour".
As you can see, I was filming at "the Bird's Nest" again, where I managed to meet up with CenturyHornet, theSerbian Aviator, and a massive portion of the Toronto Pearson Aviation group. I would like to say a huge thanks to those guys for making it an awesome day and an unforgettable memory! This was the busiest time at "the Bird's Nest" to date! We also could not have been luckier with the weather! Unfortunately, I was unable to film the band disembarking due to the fact that the North Lounge, which was where the aircraft parked for the duration, was heavily guarded.
This beautiful bird was flown by the one and only, Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden, who happens to have a certified pilot licence. It was so cool to hear Bruce on my airband scanner! The following day, the band rocked over 16,000 fans at the Air Canada Centre. The day after the concert, Ed Force One continued their world tour to Detroit. Toronto is one of four Canadian cities on the tour. The other Canadian cities are: Vancouver, Edmonton, and Montreal, which is where the band played before Toronto. This is also where Ed Force One arrived from.
After catching this magnificent jumbo jet, I felt on top of the world, and so did all the other planespotters that were by my side. It was the most anticipated catch at the airport for a while and it was a privilege to have finally seen it. I may have caught the catch of the year now, and you shall see it again in my "Best of 2016" compilation.
Welcome back to Toronto Iron Maiden! Always a pleasure to have you in our wonderful city.
FUN FACT: This plane used to belong to Air France as F-GITH, which I last saw on June 27, 2014.

Great video. The people were completely in trance ^^
+C Travels Indeed they were, it was a fantastic day! Thanks for watching :)
Nice catch Ross! I caught the landing from the Wendy's, it was also a great view. Video is on my channel if you're interested. Depending on how long you stayed at the Bird's Nest after the Iron Maiden landed, you might've seen me because I came up there afterwards. I was there when the ATR landed. I was that kid that was kind of away from everyone else and spotting on my own, haha. :)
+Pearson Spotting HD Thanks Shivam! Yeah, I saw your awesome video! From what I saw, there were tons of people there as well. I stayed at the Bird's Nest until 330 so you may not have seen me. Again, it's a shame I didn't see you yesterday, but next time I'll try to see you! :)
AWESOME CATCH!!
+Red Bird Pilot THANX!!! :)
Nice weather you are having. Damn, its April 2nd and you guys still have snow flurries! I am in Vegas and it is in the 80s.
+Christina Cris Well, aren't you lucky!!!! Yeah, it was amazing to see this beautiful bird land! Thanks for watching :)
Marvelous Catch! I was at the Wendy's when this beautiful bird came! Huge Like, :)
+YYZSpotting Just saw your video! Thanks so much for watching, it sure was a great day :)

+99carnot It was so good to be there to see it! Thanks 4 watching :)

+Toronto Plane Spotter Poor plane ;-(
Nice
+Cyril Uebbing THANX
Nice catch, but I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't heard of Iron Maiden before...
+Ziggy85 “Ziggmanster” Gaming XDD Thanks buddy! Most of us came just for the arrival of the plane, not for the concert!
beautyful plane
hope this Vide0 from you have rush more of to much views more
I have an iphone 6s do you think I would still get great shots of the takeoffs and touchdowns from the bird's nest?
I'm honestly not the best person to ask as I don't have an iphone 6. Sorry
That's awesome, what time did they arrive?
+Johnny Bills Thanks! They arrived just after 3pm :)
Hello guys! Awesome catch!

+Luba Williams Thanks a lot for watching! They take off tomorrow afternoon, not exactly sure when though!
Thank you maybe someone will know when this is once in a lifetime chance. Anybody going tonight ? Have fun there are some single seats left on ticket master
Luba Williams I wish I was now. Oh well, thanks again for watching.
o 747 já é o rei dos ares, com o iron maidem a bordo então!!
впервые вижу, как самолет паркуют задним ходом!
That head around the touch down must've been irritating, but at least you got the touch down! ;)
The Canadian flag at 3:45 seems to be flown at 3/4, any idea why?
+Sorenle Yeah, but at least it didn't block the main parts of the video! Not exactly sure why, I guess the North Lounge want to signify that they are Canadian, lol, I don't know... :)
+Toronto Plane Spotter In Sweden it most of the time means that someone has died when a flag is flown at half (though de facto at 2/3). There might be some other English term which I'm not familiar with.
Sorenle It means the same thing here as well. Not sure why the flag at Pearson was like that though.
was there last night ACC iron maiden fucking rocks
+Joseph Macaluso UP THE IRONS!!!! :D
Lol they traded in their 757? Does Ed have his certification type to fly a 747 like he did with his 757?
+An Ar Yep, they traded it in for a bigger and better aircraft! Yep, he's a certified pilot! :)
o thought that ed force one was a boeing 747-400...
wow lol wish i could be there
is everyone still there now
+Keyshawn No, I left at around 330pm along with the majority of the other spotters that came. Oh, it was super crazy up there and I wish I could relive that day again!
+Toronto Plane Spotter wow well I'll see if I can make it on Monday and I'm new to Toronto so I wanted to no what bus get u to the birds nest if u know
+Toronto Plane Spotter because I'm in Etobicoke at eringate
+Keyshawn Ok, he's probably gonna leave in the afternoon tomorrow. Unfortunately I can't make it because I have school.
+Toronto Plane Spotter I have school to and it ends at 2:30 but I hope it's not around that time
Man those background people are annoying. But amazing catch and video! :D
+planesguy Lool, but they're fun to be around! They're great friends! Thanks for watching buddy :)
