The metal group Iron Maiden's private plane was recently borrowed by a major airline to transport tourists from Scotland to Greece and Turkey. The jet, named "Ed Force One", features custom interior designs including iron maiden logos and a flight number 666. The plane is usually piloted by lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and the band uses it whenever they're on tour.
The plane is owned by Astraeus Airlines, which also gave Dickinson his official pilot license, but when they aren't using it they allow it to be used by the airline for commercial transport. Because the airline recently needed the plane on short notice, there was not time to remove the band's custom-made interior decor, and thus travelers had the honor of flying on the jet surrounded by Iron Maiden style.
