Iron Maiden fans can now own a unique souvenir from the British band. The German company Aviationtag , specializing in upcycling discarded aircraft, has created exclusive labels made from the fuselage of the famous Ed Force One .
Ed Force One wasn't just a means of transportation; it became a symbol of the band's global touring legacy. The aircraft, a Boeing 747-400 with registration TF-AAK, transported the band, their crew, and an impressive array of stage equipment on The Book Of Souls in 2016.
In a press release, vocalist and pilot Bruce Dickinson reflected on the aircraft: “It [the aircraft] has always behaved like the Queen of the Skies that the 747 will always be. There will never be another to occupy its throne. The power, the roar of those 4 engines, the feather-light landings (not my fault — blame the good design) and its aerial elegance put the 747 in a unique category.”
Each tag measures approximately 8 cm by 3 cm and is sold for €66.66 – about R$415 at the current exchange rate – on the Aviationtag . The price is a reference to the classic film "The Number Of The Beast".
