Bruce Dickinson is a real man.
Rock legend airlifts hundreds to safety
He's the frontman for one of the great metal bands of all-time. He was a world class fencer. Now, after helping to rescue scores of Britons from the
fiery hell of war, he's a national hero.
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer for Iron Maiden, gets bored pretty quickly. He keeps himself busy with many hobbies and art projects. Years ago he was
trained as a commercial pilot by friend Captain Phil Dales of British Airways.
When Dickinson got word that his countrymen were stranded in Cyprus after having fled the war in Lebanon, he leaped at the chance to help.
"He was only too keen to get involved and help. He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about
what is going on," said a colleague.
Dickinson piloted a Boeing 757 down to the tiny island nation to pick up 200 Britons and return them to the safety to Gatwick Airport in England.
Now Dickinson will return to hosting his weekly radio show on BBC 6Music and resume rehearsing for Iron Maiden's fall tour opening at Budokan.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where

the only real IRON MAIDEN is with Dickenson. That is cool as fuck news about him. ever since he handled the OSBORNES about a year ago I had more
respect than normal for him. This just makes him even cooler.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
