I'll be the first to admit that the trip to JFK was the most interesting to date - discounting my near-brush with death. To keep from getting bored on a 9 hour flight from Sao Paulo I pranked my followers on flightradar24 by pulling off the "Now you see me, now you don't" stunt twice - Once over the Amazon and another over the Bermuda triangle. I made them all my "Prisoners" for a few minutes... it was brilliant! (Look at the flightradar24 screenshots I included below.
Negotiating JFK was fun, but not for the ERJ145 that was tailing me coming out of the clouds on final. The little fellow would have met Eddie had he not aborted his landing. Sorry pal, pay attention next time! I bet that ride was bumpy mate.
However, the best part came at the end, my crew set me down following a hair pin turn into 13L from about 600ft altitude. From that height, one mistake and my wing is clipping cars on the ground.
As I flew out of Chile I pondered how close I had come to the end. March 12th was likely The Longest Day of the tour for Bruce, Iron Maiden, the Killer Krew, and all others that were impacted. After all, riding over the Andes by Bus probably sucked.
I was born on February 17th 2016 and delivered to CWL as ABD012P. My new masters quickly re-named me Alpha Bravo Delta 666 - Ed Force One for short! February 19th was my Maiden flight with my new master as we headed out to FLL.
