According to an update from the cardiff Devils, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson showed off his other career as a pilot on Thursday (October 20th) with Patrick Bordeleau and Sean Bentivoglio. Dickinson is the majority owner of Cardiff Aviation based up at Cardiff Airport and offfering flight training with three flight simulators.

"It was so realistic, the inside of the simulator is exactly like the inside of a real cockpit. We were belted in and got to experience what it is like to fly a 737," said Patrick Bordeleau.

"It was nerve wracking, you feel real turbulence and I was stressed out trying to land. I didn't do so well the first time, but I think I was smoother on the second try."

"It was an amazing day, and Bruce was awesome. We thought we would meet him and do a photo, not spend nearly 3 hours in a simulator with him," said Sean Bentivoglio.

"It is just like flying, the turbulence, the G-Force, it is intense. He had to take over when I missed the runway, but we brought the plane back around and I landed it safely."

It's not every day you get to see the lead singer of the world's most famous heavy metal band pulling pints. But that is exactly what happened in Cardiff's Fuel Rock Club on Thursday night when Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson turned up behind the bar, reports WalesOnline.

The club had just installed the band's new Trooper Red 'N' Black Beer on pump and Bruce decided to pop in.

The club's owner Rob Toogood said: "We never know exactly if Bruce is going to come but when I bumped into him backstage at a show in Barcelona he told me to let him know when I had the new beer in and he promised to pull a few pints for us.

"His son Griff was playing across the road with his band SHVPES so we guessed he might be about.

"He stayed most of the night just mingling, chatting, and posing for pics."
