Fly To The Hills: Bruce Dickinson To The Rescue!

There’s nothing like a bit of heart-warming metal god bravery to, er, warm the heart on a windy Monday, so step right up, Bruce Dickinson of metal maestros Iron Maiden! Yes, in addition to rocking the f–k out and wearing amazing leather pants during the ’70s and ’80s, Dickinson is also a pilot, and stepped up to the plane plate when hundreds of British holidaymakers became stranded in Egypt after their holiday tour company went bust, flying the metal skies all the way to pick them up and safely deliver them back to Old Blighty.

“I was just doing my job. I was called out like a lot of other pilots to help and I was obviously happy to do that,” The Mail on Sunday newspaper quoted rocker Dickinson as saying.

“Some of the people on the flight were obviously frustrated by the situation they had found themselves in but everyone was pretty good-natured about it all.”

You’d want to be good-natured about it if Bruce Dickinson flew in to pick you up! Hell, I’d pay extra just for the privilege! Do you think his chartered 757 had Guitar Hero installed as in-flight entertainment? I think it’s time to enjoy some vintage MAIIIDDEEENNNNNN in celebration!

This one’s going out to the little lady in aisle seat 26J!!
