They are touring in a Boeing 757 named 'Ed Force One' with Bruce Dickinson at the controls.

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23166158-7484,00.html

I like these quotes:

Dickinson has been flying for Astraeus for six years and moved to the captain's seat last May. "I never got into flying because I was pretty crap at maths and physics at school so I just thought I'd be too stupid so ended up being a rock singer instead," he said.

"Then when our drummer got his pilot's licence I thought, 'Blimey, if he can get a pilot's licence, I must be able to'."

The Cover Band playing at the brewery bar teased the crowd several times by playing intros to Iron Maiden songs and then stopping them.

Coming back in a cab to the airport on Monday... there it was outa the window
'EDFORCE 1' Maiden's Jumbo getting loaded up for their show in Brisbane!
IRON MAIDEN's return to Oz took a Hell of a long time...
