Description

For their world tour “Book of Souls”, which started in 2016 and took the British hard rock and heavy metal band to concerts on six continents, Iron Maiden upgraded itself to “Queen of the Skies” with a Boeing 747-400. Again with front man Bruce Dickinson in the cockpit, he first had to train and obtain approval to fly the 180-ton jumbo jet. Compared to the Boeing 757s that were used on the two previous tours, the larger aircraft offered considerably more space for the band and crew, a greater range and a larger cargo space, which also enabled the stage equipment to be loaded and unloaded more quickly. In the booklet for the “Book of Souls” album, the titles of the respective tracks were translated into today’s Yucatec Maya language and drawn as hieroglyphs. The two song titles “If Eternity Should Fail” and “Speed ​​of Light” were also transferred to the 747’s tail unit. This special edition made of metal has numerous unusual details, such as individually inserted landing lights or a removable landing gear held by magnets, which underlines the elegance of the Jumbo in flight. A robust metal stand ensures that the model stands securely.
