Bruce Dickinson is due to make a short appearance at the world’s largest airshow this summer
Bruce Dickinson (vocalist with Iron Maiden and part time commercial B757 pilot), is due to make a short appearance at the world’s largest airshow this summer. He has agreed to transport the winners of the BBC Children in Need Royal International Air Tattoo competition to RAF Fairford Gloucestershire in July 2007, and we have more details of what this will entail… The winners will arrive at the launch of the Royal International Air Tattoo, on Thursday, July 14th, with Bruce Dickinson at the controls. As well as being front man with Iron Maiden, Bruce pilots the 175 seater Boeing 757 and is based at London Gatwick, flying with Astraeus Airlines. He spends most of his spare time flying holiday makers to the Mediterranean!
The winners will be pampered over the 4 days of the show taking in low-level flights in a private luxury jet, enjoy a VIP behind-the-scenes tour and a visit to the Air Traffic Control Tower. They will also attend the prestigious Gala dinner and stay overnight in a luxury Cotswold Hotel. The next day is also at the Air Tattoo in the VIP Patron’s Pavilion where they will meet the Red Arrows, the RAF’s legendary aerobatic display team.
At the end of the event they will be picked up by Nick Mason from Pink Floyd a keen private pilot and aircraft enthusiast himself.
Each year the Air Tattoo welcomes more than 350 aircraft from around the world and is the “Worlds Premier Airshow”. It provide a great opportunity to see the largest, fastest and noisiest aircraft!
… true “Heavy Metal!
