Description: If you're a fan of Iron Maiden, this one's for you! 🤘 Join Robert John Hadfield and Gary Casella as they dive into the wild story of Iron Maiden’s iconic Boeing 747 – known as Air Force One – getting dismantled and turned into collector’s items!

Plus, we discuss Bruce Dickinson's love of flying, Iron Maiden’s dedicated fanbase, and how some classic bands keep touring while others fade away.
