Bucket list worthy to have him fly me on their plane. Especially to go show to show with them.

On this topic, some British friends of mine shared a drink with Dave Murray at a hole in the wall bar in my neighborhood for about an hour a few months back, without even knowing who it was. The bar owners are huge Maiden fans, and always have Eddie on their chalkboards and sandwich boards, but we didn't realize they actually knew the band. I'm kicking myself that I didn't go that night.

That video features an older Ed Force 1. The current one is a 747:

Actually, they've had several Ed Force One planes. This just happens to be the first 747-400! Bruce has flown the guys around on tour a few times. I believe the other plane they used to use was a 757. They have the bigger one now because they want to put all their equipment and props on the same plane.

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, no kidding. I deserve it.

My friend's wife is a hoot. She's Welsh, and talks a mile a minute. Murray was hitting on her (sort of, not really), and she was shutting him down. The husband figured it out and was giving the wife the elbow routine. He's a fan, so he was freaking out, but he's British, so he had to keep the stiff upper lip the whole time.

Honestly, I wouldn't have recognized Murray, either, in that context, but it'd have been amazing to be there, anyway. So it goes.
