As the pioneers of the British heavy metal scene, Iron Maiden are the most successful band in their genre. Founded in 1975, Iron Maiden are a global phenomenon, with appearances in 60 countries around the world. Their Book of Souls tour began in 2016, during which the band performed in front of more than 1.3 million fans at 117 concerts in 36 countries. For their last three tours, the band and their crew traveled in specially designed planes. Named “Ed Force One” in reference to their mascot Eddie, each aircraft adorned the design of the respective album and the accompanying World Tour. The pilot was none other than lead singer Bruce Dickinson himself, who also works as a pilot for charter airline Astraeus, from which the two Boeing 757s came from, which were used on the two tours in 2008 and 2011. For the Book of Souls World Tour that started in 2016 and took the band to six continents, Iron Maiden upgraded to the “Queen of the Skies”, a Boeing 747-400. Compared to the Boeing 757s used on the two previous tours, the larger aircraft offered considerably more space for the band and crew, a longer range and also a much larger cargo hold to more quickly load and unload the stage equipment. In the booklet accompanying the “Book of Souls” album, each track was translated in today’s Yucatec Maya language and drawn in hieroglyphs. Two of the song titles, “If Eternity Should Fail” and “Speed of Light” were also applied onto the tail of the 747. Condition is Brand New in original packages. To the US only.
