Special charter

The Iron Maiden band's jet, an Astraeus Boeing 757-200 in special Iron Maiden livery. (2008)

In October 2007, Iron Maiden commissioned an Astraeus 757 as transport for their 'Somewhere Back in Time' tour in 2008. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson piloted the aircraft, "Ed Force One," since he is also a commercial airline pilot for Astraeus. The aircraft was converted into a combi configuration, repainted with a special Iron Maiden livery, had a list of all the places where the band was going to present in the tour Somewhere Back in Time' and was used in this scheme until 28 May 2008 for commercial flights as well as use by Iron Maiden. The same aircraft (G-OJIB) was used again on the second leg of the Somewhere Back in Time tour in 2009. It plays a major role on the award-winning documentary Iron Maiden: Flight 666 which was released in cinemas in 42 countries in April 2009 and appeared on DVD and Blu-Ray formats in the US in June 2009. Iron Maiden: Flight 666 debuted on British television on 4 March 2010 at 11:00pm on BBC4 as part of Heavy Metal Britannia.

Claims of occult references

In 1982, the band released one of their most popular, controversial and acclaimed albums, The Number Of The Beast. This led to Christian groups, particularly in the United States, branding the band as Satanic and unholy. In the 1990s the band was banned from performing in Chile for the same reasons. However, contrary to this belief, the band is not Satanic nor does it believe in the occult. According to the band the devil imagery which is linked with the band due to a few songs and their album covers is not connected with their religious beliefs and is not the focus of their music. In an interview included on Iron Maiden's DVD The Early Days, Steve Harris set the record straight by saying that he is not a Satanist, that the number of the beast came from a nightmare he had. Furthermore the band's drummer Nicko McBrain has actually been a Born Again Christian since 1999.
