This is the single greatest thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life.

It's a simulator, not a real plane.
£666 for 1 hour is pretty pricey. Even if it is Bruce Dickenson.
I met him once after a gig in The Point (as it was known then).
Very underwhelming - the man is only about 5 foot tall. But I suppose I had worshipped Iron Maiden for 2 decades, and held them in such high esteem.

Don't meet your heroes.

Besides, 666 of your Great British Pounds. I know he's entrepreneurial but still. Money grabbing exercise.

I actually wondered why he was bothered doing it at all...

An hour in a commercial flight simulator runs to a couple of hundred quid, I'd assume. Other expenses out of that and you might be left with a few hundred quid per session for his time and effort.

Seems like a lot of commitment / time for very little reward for a man in Bruce's position. One would assume he's very wealthy, no? Or is it just for the love of it?!

Also, unless I got it wrong, you can bring up to two guests with you for the £666, so it doesn't seem that expensive if you were a big fan and wanted to meet him.

Comes to almost £800 after tax which is pretty much €1,000. £500 got me a return flight to Stockholm (with him as pilot), a night in a hotel, tickets for the gig, to meet Bruce and get up on the stage before the show for a group photo.

He owns the machine. Or a the companies he's involved with does. Remember reading that.
