Aviationtag Iron Maiden Boeing 747 Ed Force One TF-AAK White

The Boeing 747 is a wide-body, four-engine jetliner which rose to aviation fame in the late 1960s. The first 747 completed its virgin flight in 1969 and remained the largest passenger jet in the world until 2005. Its wingspan is 64.44 m and the vertical elongation at the wingtip can be up to 16 m. It is also well known for its “hump” silhouette which earned it the nickname Jumbo Jet. Compared to previous 747s, the most significant aerodynamic improvement in the 747-400 is the wing size, which is 1.8 m (6 ft) longer with a 6 ft. high winglet that is angled upwards and slightly outward.

Aviationtag x Iron Maiden Edition: Ed Force One

Our exclusive Aviationtag x Iron Maiden Edition "Ed Force One" was made from original aircraft skin of the legendary Boeing 747-400 with MSN 32868 – an aircraft with a tumultuous history.

In March 2003, the aircraft was initially delivered to Air France and registered as F-GITH. In 2015, it transferred to Air Atlanta Icelandic, where it flew as TF-AAK. Just a year later, it became world-famous as Ed Force One when it accompanied Iron Maiden on their "The Book of Souls" world tour – with none other than frontman Bruce Dickinson himself in the cockpit.

'After her time as a "flying tour bus" for the metal legends, she flew for Saudi Arabian Airlines starting in August 2016, before being retired in 2022. In 2024, she was finally decommissioned – but we have made it our mission to preserve a part of her history together with Iron Maiden!'

In our Cologne manufactory, we have carefully processed original parts of this extraordinary aircraft and transformed them into unique Aviationtags. The front features the iconic Ed Force One logo, while the back is adorned with Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie. Each Aviationtag is a one-of-a-kind – a perfect blend of aviation history and rock 'n' roll. Additionally, each Aviationtag comes with a unique booklet that includes an exclusive interview with Bruce Dickinson.
