Bruce Dickinson Is Quality.

[K]

Is there anything that this man can't do?

It has been revealed in Peterborough Today, Bruce Dickinson was the pilot on a very special flight to bring troops who had been serving in Afghanistan for 7 months back to the UK.

Speaking about the whole incident, Squadron Leader 'Albert' Finney has said: "I wanted to speak to the captain because we are not used to handling such large aircraft, and I needed to check he was happy with the taxi-plan. The captain happened to be Bruce Dickinson."

"I knew he flew for Astraeus, but what were the chances of him being the pilot? He was as proud as punch at flying the lads and wanted to tell me all about his Boeing 757."

Iron Maiden have just wrapped up their 'Somewhere In Time' world tour.

He gets payed a wage by Astraeus I believe. You'd think the royaltys and touring money would be enough.

I like his radio show. He's so eccentric.

I was just listening to A Tyranny of Souls this morning.

Good shit.

That's true. I don't think he does it for the extra cash, though, I think he genuinely loves it - who becomes a PILOT for a little extra pocket money? It's just another example of Bruce Dickinson being bloody brilliant. Singer, DJ, Semi-professional fencer, pilot, legend.
