Michigan Metalheads Can Own A Piece of Iron Maiden’s Custom 747

Back when Iron Maiden decided that they were going to be flying across the world in their customized Boeing 747 passenger plane dubbed “Ed Force One” it was probably one of the coolest things a heavy metal band ever did.

With every new tour, Iron Maiden would repaint their entire plane and list all of the cities that they will be hitting up on the current tour. On top of that, as a little bit of love is shown to the fan club, on the landing gear hatch, they will put the names of all of the official Iron Maiden fan club members.

Now anybody in Michigan who is a huge heavy metal fan can have a chance at owning a piece of Iron Maiden 747.

CNN recently reported that the German company, Aviationtag, who specializes in making upcycled scrapped airplanes into a limited run of unique one-of-a-kind tags has used the fuselage of Ed Force One from their 2016 Book of Souls tour into a truly unique collector item:

They’re sized around 1.5 by 3.5 inches (35 by 88 millimeters) and retail at €66.66 (around $73) on Aviationtag’s website. The price point, of course, is a nod to 666 and the Iron Maiden hit “The Number of the Beast.” Each tag, which can be used as a keychain or simply as a collector’s item, is made from the plane’s white fuselage.

There are only gonna be a limited number of these available. The blue tag appears to have already sold out, but the white one is still available, just make sure you change the language to English when you order from their website.
