Iron Maiden fans...
Bruce Dickinson's day job - pretty cool.

Quote:
“Aviation’s been kicking around my family for as long as I can remember; my uncle was in the RAF,” says Dickinson. “But I always thought I was too stupid. I was useless at maths and majored in history at university, so I thought history majors don’t become pilots, let alone rock stars. And then our drummer learned to fly so I said if a drummer can learn to fly then anyone can.”

Quote:
“I never dreamed I would end up flying an airliner,” he continues. “I ended up flying Iron Maiden around on tour in a little eight-seat, pressurized, twin-engine plane. Basically we were flying round all the world’s major airports, flew across the Atlantic and back, which was quite an adventure. At the end I thought I really want to fly something bigger, but I can’t afford it — I can’t buy my own 707. If I’m going to do that I have to get a job.”
