Ed Force One

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

Are any of you CHC based gents in a position to get a close look at Ed Force One (Iron Maiden's 757), currently parked on the pan at CHC. If so could I tag along please (pretty please dry.gif ) As far as I'm aware it's still there - does anyone know when it's scheduled to leave??

Cheers

I imagine it will be leaving today sometime. I saw it in Auckland but the weather was rubbish so I didn't take any photos.

A friend in ATC told me they'd asked for clearance about 30 minutes or so ago!! sad.gif Luckily my wife was in the area and got some good shots before they left..... smile.gif
