Bruce flies home RAF Servicemen from Afghanistan

Monday 8th September 2008

As you will well know if you have followed Iron Maiden outside of their music over the last decade or so, Bruce has become a qualified commercial pilot (with well known outings on Ed Force One being available for some fans when the band is on tour). However, news has surfaced of Bruce performing some extra special flights, by flying home a Boeing 747 that had been chartered to take a large group of RAF pilots for their annual leave. Many of the servicemen were huge Iron Maiden fans, and he spent a long time before and after the flight talking to those who had travelled and signing autographs.
