Iron Maiden to stage WW1 era dog fight at festival (singer to be a pilot)

Well in light of that stupid death metal cube stunt I figured I'd link something that seems a true rock'n'roll stunt. For those that don't know Maiden is known for having a lot of songs about poetry, literature, and history (particularly wars and battles) and last year they had a Spitfire do a couple of fly overs.

This year they're doing something different.

This Saturday Iron Maiden will make history at Knebworth as they stage an aerial dogfight over Sonisphere before their headline set – with Bruce Dickinson flying one of the planes!

They have a pretty awesome song called Paschendale which is about a pretty brutal WW1 campaign of the same name so I assume that will be in the set list.

And as the Maiden fans know Bruce Dickinson is a certified pilot and flies the band around on tour.
