As an aviation enthusiast, here's my little contribution to your site!!! Flight 666 on short final ILS approach to runway 05R to Mexico City Internatinal Airport on February 23rd, 2008 @ 1:04:56 PM LT coming from Monterrey and previous days too from Guadalajara, México. I want to dedicate this picture to my friends and Iron Maiden big fans attending to your concert tomorrow, Pablo Orduña, Jorge Miró and Gabriel Bremont. - Ricardo Morales

This afternoon while waiting for my flight home to Albuquerque, My friend Wes from Phoenix and I got to see Ed Force One departing LAX. It was great to be able to go to the gig at the Forum last night, but to top off the trip I got to see the band depart on Ed Force One! A great trip indeed! Just wanted to share the photo with everyone. Thank you for a great show last night guys, and I can't wait to see you make your Triumphant return to Albuquerque on May 25. See you then! - Joseph Trujillo ('Skinsfan)

I could take several pics of Ed Force One thanks to a problem I had with the airline I had bought my travel from Guadalajara to Monterrey which canceled my original flight, but got me a ticket for another flight that departed a little earlier, in fact Ed Force One departed from the airport just after my flight, I even took a little video from my plane where you can see EFO two places behind my flight in the row to depart. I was so lucky! - Fernando Mendoza

Attached you can find some pics of the Maiden aircraft at Juan Santamaría Airport in San José, Costa Rica
Great gig!!!! Thanks for that concert!!!! UP the irons! - Leonardo Prado

A group of Costa Rican plane spotters and me got the amazing chance to spot Ed Force One as close as we could, and after having some troubles with local press, Eddie sent us a ray of hope, and we did it! we reached to spot the most outstanding plane of the year, G-OJIB with Iron Maiden's Livery. Arriving from México City, Ed Force One arrived at 4 PM, landing on San José's Runway 07 and hitting its reverse thrusts to slow down onto our beautiful Costa Rican soil I am almost turning off my computer, and getting into Saprissa's stadium to start the long but worthy wait. I am a 17-years aviation student with a drummer spirit as well, and Maiden fan forever!!! Thanks for this great opportunity Iron Maiden xD!!! - Andrés Meneses

Hello, this is from Mexico DF I'm just right in front of the mighty ED FORCE ONE, it looks tremendous, never get tired of look at it!!! Hail Eddie!! - Jafet Sanchez Martinez
