Flying Heavy Metal Episode One: Jet Race-Part 1 High Quality

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden presents the history of jet travel from his perspective as a Boeing 757 pilot for the UK airline Astraeus. A total of five episodes include historical footage from manufacturer's archives, including a test pilot completing an unauthorized barrel roll in the Boeing 707. Also discusses the development of the de Havilland Comet, the 747 and the A380, including interviews with key members of the development teams (who may be unaware they are chatting with the lead singer of Iron Maiden).

I always wonder if he has to make an announcement to his passengers to the effect of:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the cabin crew has asked me to confirm a query many of you have had...yes, I am THAT Bruce Dickinson. Please stop asking. Thank you."

or

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this announcement is to clarify: I will not be taking requests for Still Life or Clansman, as it would require me to take my attention away from the controls and jeopardise your lives. Thank you."
