Iron Maiden: Flight 666 will then be released on extended Blu-ray and DVD formats, alongside a double-CD soundtrack album and limited edition double-vinyl picture disc which will be available Tuesday, June 9.

Directed by Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen, the film provides an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the band during the first leg of their Somewhere Back In Time tour, which spanned 23 shows and 13 countries in 45 days back in February/March 2008. The tour took them 50,000 miles round the planet playing 23 concerts on five continents in just 45 days. One of the stars of the movie is the band’s customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, all their crew, and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a fully qualified and active Airline Captain with Astraeus Airlines.
