BRUCE DICKINSON makes emergency landing at RAF Halton
11 August 2015
IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson, who is an experienced pilot, made a surprise landing at the RAF Halton base when his Fokker Triplane started to run low on fuel, reports The Bucks Herald.
Dickinson diverted his plane into Halton, where RAF personnel were on hand to refuel the historic plane.
Squadron leader Gary Coleman, officer commanding operations squadron at RAF Halton, said: “We applaud Bruce Dickinson’s decision to divert to RAF Halton rather than press to his destination with potentially low fuel. To see such a well-regarded pilot, and world-renowned rock singer, make this decision is great for our student pilots to see. It makes them realize that anyone can find themselves low on fuel due to unforeseen circumstances and that the right decision is to divert.”
According to Business Insider, the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti has relaunched its national airline -- a company managed by Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson, officials said Tuesday.
