Nobody was blasting Iron Maiden music from their sound system? Damn! When I saw them play in 1984 I never dreamed I’d be watching Bruce himself piloting a 747 loaded with his bands tour equipment! Wow! This is incredible!
Actually LEd Zeppelin also arrived in a jet airliner like this even though it wanst a 747 like Iron Maiden's , The band originally bought a former United Airlines Boeing 720B passenger jet for their 1973 and 1975 concert tours for $750,000, then spent almost $200,000 to transform it into a rock 'n' roll air palace with a cabin bar and a built-in electric organ.
@@brucie7350 your comment had nothing to do who flew the plane. Zeppelin came in that way too. Who gives a fuck who flew it?! I could care less. And because no member flew the plane doesn’t make them greater.
I worked at Boeing for 33 1/2 years, and my two proudest moments were when Bruce came to the Everett factory to film a show about airplanes for the British Discovery channel called Heavy Metal and installing portions of the interior. I was lucky enough to run into him as he took a tour of the 747 line, he was with a bunch of suit and tie guys that had no clue who he was so I barged in and said hello then asked for an autograph. A local newspaper was there reporting on his visit so I asked the reporter to take a picture of us and send it to my email. I still have the pic and autograph. Then years later Maiden had a concert in Vancouver B.C. so Bruce decided to land Ed Force 1 at the Everett Boeing factory (Worlds largest building by volume) and give a handful of employees a tour of the plane, I wasn’t chosen by my work partner was. He mentioned that the first class and business class had been decorated a little, but the rest of the plane was the same as it was when we built it.
I want to thank you. I worked the fixing Boeing aircrafts. I line maintenance and avionics for over fourth years. Boeing makes a good airplane. Spent most of my time on 74s. I even went to school at Boeing for the 747. Sad to see it go. It has been a pleasure. The big twins rule the world. ETOPS proved its self to be safe.
Cool, Cool, my dad worked there too for about 30 years too pretty close to the factory I'm from Everett too I knew it was the World's largest Building by Volume because my dad told me so years ago, he passed a few years ago but your comment rang true with me.
Iron Maiden is a class act and just gets better with age. 2012 Maiden in England 🇬🇧 Tour Phoenix, AZ first to the rail 108 degrees at showtime. Best concert of my life. "Up The Irons!"👍
@@nimou777 I dont even know where to begin you are so wrong lol. 1st, it was 107.2 degrees. 2nd, let's focus on the 1st for a while longer. 3rd is back to the railside temps and a strong push towards 2nd and 1st... Glad you had a great time brosif 🤝
From the bottom of my heart iron maiden you are the greatest band in the world. My coworkers complained about my music after closing sorry but it's iron what iron fuckin maiden that's what. The only other band I can think that compares to iron maiden is the scorpions. Sorry 2022 new album and it kicked ass just like iron maiden so love u guys thanks for so many amazing years of metal and not using drugs like motley crue. I won't put ozzy down but thanks for making music with history in it and making it come to life and when your done with life it just brings u back like shit could be worse. God bless iron fuckin maiden and Das scorpions love u guys.
@@user-gg3rg1gg5x i'm not a fan eighter but i do have alot of respect for Bruce, because he shows that rock bands don't need to be the stereo types dudes that do drugs and alot of alcohol and demolish hotel rooms. He's a sober, intelligent and educated man, and you can't say that about alot of bands, because alot are just undeducated drug using savages that behave like 16 year old kids.
I first saw Iron Maiden at the San Francisco Cow Palace, March 1985 during The World Slavery Tour. I never imagined this. The band has literally arrived!
Greg Lake once told a story about the planes that rock bands would lease and Yes leased one on a tour (trying to top ELP) with big stickers saying YES on the fuselage. So they’re in this plane and hear this PFFPFPFPF-BANG! and the plane slows way down and yaws over - a sticker had come off and gotten ingested into an engine. Then they realize they’ve got one good engine…and one sticker. 😳
Ah they only leased the aircraft for that tour I'm sorry to say, it's been back with Air Atlanta Icelandic / Saudi Airlines since. Unfortunately, as Richie mentioned... It's at a well known aircraft scrap site in the UK at the moment.
Nice, smooth landing Bruce!!! Love how all these silly rappers and pop stars try to "FLEX" driving around in their Rolls, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc that they rent most of the time and don't even own. Tell me how successful you are when your new album and world tour is such a huge deal you circumnavigate the globe in a 747-400 with your name emblazoned on it. Honestly Ed Force One is about equivalent to Dethklok flying around in that custom chopper, what did they call it, the Hatred-copter lol.
@@TheHimansu33 yea in places like New York City, Miami, Las Vegas, and los angles super car rentals are very cheap. Like $500 a day for a Lamborghini. A lot of people rent them to make them seem rich
I had no clue what this landing was all about until I read the comments and figured it out. I'm 64, so I've heard there is a group called Iron Maiden. Can't say I know any more than what I just learned in the comments, though. I think I remember seeing an album cover of theirs once. Psychadelic colors, right?
Jonny Parada I used a flight tracker app(don't remember which) They use flight 666. It was cool to hear Bruce talking with flight control. U have to tune your radio into the airport radio channel.
You know coming from someone who work at a race tracks organization, I think you may know what was my expectation and reaction were like at the end, sooo yeah. 😒
Judging by the comments, the algorithm is doing it's thing again. The real question is where was I. I live in Las Vegas, I would have been there had I known when they were coming in.

Zeppelin did
Zep....
But did Robert Plant fly the plane? Pretty sure Bruce pilots Ed Force One.

Even KISS is going ..."Dam, why didn't we think of that?!!" lol. So freakn' awesome.
B747 landing: always one of the most beautiful sights in aviation.
Love it
History's most iconic Heavy Metal Band in the world 🌎. Ironmaiden is Legendary!!!
I come here every time I'm having a rough day. My favorite band in the whole world.
To their unending credit, not a single fan was shooting in portrait! 😆☠️
Respek!!
I'll bet Bruce loved every minute of flying the 747-400. Very nice landing :)
"Hey Bruce, what are you doing after the concert?" "Flying our jet to the next one" 😎
That must be a plane spotters wet dream! Way to travel in style!!
I felt the same way when Robert Plant flew into Hangar One, where I worked (PDK) Peachtree DeKalb Airport Atlanta for a concert late 80's. 🤙🤙🤙
They’re all cheering like the band can hear them LOL
Theres is not one singer with a captain qualification is there besides bruce?amazing
I don’t recall any. Just remember Tim Calvert, guitarist for Forbidden and Nevermore, who used to be a SkyWest Pilot
Is a Tail gunner....
Fun fact: Nicko McBrain, the drummer, also used to fly airplanes, but just for fun.
I know a few actors.
John Travolta if you count him as a singer on Grease
Saw them in Utah great band. Request is Power slave!
Iron Maiden is a class act and just gets better with age. 2012 Maiden in England 🇬🇧 Tour Phoenix, AZ first to the rail 108 degrees at showtime. Best concert of my life. "Up The Irons!"👍
Not a Maiden fan here but am curious about how many original members are still in the band?
If you go back to their inception then Steve Harris is the only remaining original member. ✌️🙏

From one 74 pilot to another…f-ing nice landing man. 👍
As a Battle Born Resident for 32 years I can say Iron Maiden is Iconic.
Not a fan of iron maiden but this bloke is just top. Musician, fencer, pilot, how good is that 👌
How are you not a fan. Besides Ronnie James dio and judas priest Noone has a voice like Bruce Dickinson
...and author.

@@leonskum.5682 And I believe he has a degree in business management. When they said you can't do everything Bruce said "Hold my pint"
Brews a good beer apparently as well.
Great to see this all the way from Scotland. Thank you for uploading. (",)
I first saw Iron Maiden at the San Francisco Cow Palace, March 1985 during The World Slavery Tour.
I never imagined this.
The band has literally arrived!
Never imagined what, a plane landing???
That was a perfect landing.....definition of kissing the tarmac
I don’t like Iron Maiden but I’d be stoked to see that 747 land. Nice flare Bruce 👏👏

They buttered the bread with that landing.
We came as *Puritans* on the *Mayflower* & left as heathens on a Boeing!
Piece of mind tour 1st time seeing them Syracuse NY 8??? 😮
Now Bruce flying their own 747 or 777 ???
Gotta love Maiden
I love the enthusiasm of these watchers 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏
It’s the same fucking feeling around the globe,no matter the airport
Your mom is an airport. Everyone lands on her and then takes off right away.
I don’t get iron maiden, never have, but hats off to that entrance
Nothing like a *great audience.* These folks had me whooping at the landing too! LOL!
I was there at the show last night!
Bruce as a Pilot ... great !!
❤❤❤
Hell yeah!That plane is so cool!
I mean that was an amazing flare ! just perfect landing too!
Flare?
The last B747s are on the line. I hope Iron Maiden keeps Ed Force One flying for MANY years to come!
That very aircraft landed at Cotswold Airport UK a few days ago to be broken up for scrap
They will die eventually
Ah they only leased the aircraft for that tour I'm sorry to say, it's been back with Air Atlanta Icelandic / Saudi Airlines since.
Unfortunately, as Richie mentioned... It's at a well known aircraft scrap site in the UK at the moment.
I was on that flight as a quest. Bruce Dickinson is my 2nd cousin. I was on that tour.
This showed up on my feed after floating around UA-cam for 6 yrs. Didn't know they had their own plane and the singer is a pilot?
Maiden is life......

So that Iron Maiden plane Ed force one does not belong to them ???
I thought they own it and Bruce is tje pilot
I saw Ed Force 1 parked in Gatwick in 2017. I was landing from a flight from Orlando. Amazing to see.
Wow so smooth! Just amazed!
....whatever can happend when perfectonist bruce keep the line...
Captain Bruce is a BOSS.
The "Dip" warning sign is appropriate LOL
That just puts a smile on my face.
WoW a 747!, that’s truly amazing kit for an oldtime band to fly around in.
They still have a lot of groupies that want to fly around with them LOL
It was, it's currently waiting to be cut up.
Maiden is the coolest band in the world, yeeeeaaah.
Well done Bruce! Heavy greatings from Türkiye.
I was there for that concert. Ghost opened. EPIC!
Me too, do you remember what he said on stage about Madonna and Latif Havkic?
I get chills watching this.
now they can tell their kids that they saw iron maiden landing 😂😆😆
IM has a highly dedicated fan-base!
Hoping they will be landing in Ireland soon.
I had no idea they were popular enough to fly a 747. Pretty cool
They're not just in the 747, Bruce (lead singer) is flying this beast of an aeroplane!
@@AamirKhan-be6ug I am not a big Iron Maiden fan, but I did know that.
You can if you have goals and success. Congratulations to a humble band of musicians.

Они что , самолёт впервый раз увидели?... Орут как будто инопланетяне приземлились...

There has got to be some Spinal tap moment on that plane🤘😎🤘
proud to be a Maiden fan always ❤
One of only two living Brits who make me want to jam my flag out of my car window! 🏆🇬🇧
Who's the other one?
You have us wondering, who is the other? It may be Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger or King Charles?

Can't say I know any more than what I just learned in the comments, though. I think I remember seeing an album cover of theirs once. Psychadelic colors, right?
The pilot is the lead singer of Iron Maiden
If security comes, they better "Run to the Hills!"
Nobody does this for Metallica. Very impressive
A 747? So that’s how they roll!
Greatest day of my life. Period
Best band in the world,but that was very unexciting lol
Great Landing Bruce
Incredible
The singer of the pilot. Who’s the co-pilot?
Iron Maiden has enough money to afford a 747? Never would have guessed.
Way to cool!🤘🤘
Tom Cruise has a multi engine commercial pilots licence.
Fast forward to the last 30 seconds. That's where this video actually starts.
How do you guys track the flight ?
I want to be there for this upcoming show in Las Vegas July 3rd @ Tmobile Arena.
Jonny Parada I used a flight tracker app(don't remember which) They use flight 666. It was cool to hear Bruce talking with flight control. U have to tune your radio into the airport radio channel.
Jonny Parada you can get more info on ironmaiden.com its flighttracker24 app
Do flight aware and should be able to tell.
Well, the chicks went wild when the beatles came to America
Grown men woo-ing at an airplane is kind of funny.
How cool is that... 👍 🇬🇧
