Here's a surprise out of the XL crash

Heard on the BBC this morning

Imagine you are stranded in Sharm el-Sheik

A rescue plane is on the tarmac to bring you home

Here's your pilot

Yep it's Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden who is a qualified airline captain !!

A camera on the passengers would have been fun when they found out who was flying them !!!

Another famous musician who could also fly the plane home. Yup, Gary Numan! He's actually very highly qualified as a pilot and also holds a licence to put on displays.

Just don't play his song "The air crash bureau" whilst he's at the controls!

Bruce Dickinson's day job is as a pilot for Astraeus, think theres a few plane loads a week getting surprised by who he is... just comes up in the media any time anything 'special' happens.
