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).

  • haha! 'Arnold Ham&Egger'

  • @thomsonfly645k

    he never said the 707 didn't have an auto pilot. Even though it may have sounded like that

  • he said that the 707 didn't have an autopilot. The commercial versions did have one

  • Thank you big time for putting his one up! Awesome series!

  • big thanks from Paris for sharing all the Flying Heavy Metal Episodes :)

  • In the late 1950s the interstate network across the USA was designed so that the 707 had a straight run of 3000m to land safely on the highway. Every 15 miles the interstate was made wide enough and straight enough to land. The weakness was well known so it is unfair to say that the 707 was flawed. I was made to cross the USA in 7 hours.

  • i had no idea the host was from iron maiden... he is has an awesome way of presenting this show... he should do more tv

  • ahh good old trimming wheels like the sound you can tell it was manual

  • One hell of a plane and one hell of a car.
