Watch Iron Maiden's Lead Singer Fly a Boeing 747-8 (Kinda)

Look, it's Monday. Do we just want to spend the rest of the day watching a rocker rock-out (in a slightly different way) within a Boeing 747-8 flight simulator, and otherwise talk about how flying is "like breathing, really; it's one of the most essential things?"

Heck yes.

Our fascination with Iron Maiden lead singer (and licensed commercial pilot) Bruce Dickinson actually began when we discovered he jets around in a Boeing 757 custom-painted with the band's logo (and a badass tail). Then he considered saving an Icelandic LCC, and we were intrigued. Doesn't he have, like, rock concerts to play or something?

Happily Dickinson indulges both his passions, for music and aviation, and this earned him a sweet little visit to Boeing's HQ outside Seattle. Check out the resulting video below:
