went down to Santiago for work a few years ago, we get to our hotel and there's a huge mob of people lined up against the windows looking in, groupie types, starting at about age 10 and upward from there, we asked WTF? Iron Maiden was staying there and they were trying to get a glimpse, couldn't believe the following they had, they were doing a SA tour with another band of the same era, had a gnarled out 757, we hung out with them by the pool for a bit, talk about some road hard and put away wet looking dudes

Ed Force One is a Boeing 757-200 operated by the British airline Astraeus converted into the specialised and eye-catching Iron Maiden travel plane. It came about after lead singer Bruce Dickinson gained a commercial pilots license when taking time out of the band and became a charter pilot for the air company. He became a captain for Astraeus, although his chances to take on the task full time were curtailed after rejoining the band in 2000 for the Brave New World album and tour (this was due to the aggressive touring of the schedule of the band).

In October 2007, Iron Maiden announced that for the Somewhere Back in Time Tour, they had commissioned the airline for which Bruce flies to use their one of their 12 strong fleet as a touring aircraft around the world . Contrary to popular belief, it is not actually owned or operated by the band as many websites report, but instead remains an Astraeus plane and is leased by the band for use. The plane was repainted, with the band's famous logo spreading from the cockpit to the wing in blue text with a yellow border, the tail of the plane has a giant Eddie painted on it from the Powerslave era, with lightning effect behind him. The name of the tour and it's year is also written along the side of the plane in a smaller font, while the engines again follow the blue, white and yellow effect.
