AFP: Iron Maiden to the rescue for stranded British holidaymakers

LONDON (AFP) — Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson flew to the rescue of holidaymakers left stranded abroad after Britain's third largest tour operator collapsed, newspapers reported Sunday.
The heavy metal hero is also a Boeing 757 pilot and flew a specially-chartered Monarch Airlines flight from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt to London Gatwick Airport.

"I was just doing my job. I was called out like a lot of other pilots to help and I was obviously happy to do that," The Mail on Sunday newspaper quoted rocker Dickinson as saying.
"Some of the people on the flight were obviously frustrated by the situation they had found themselves in but everyone was pretty good-natured about it all."
Dickinson, 50, said he was off to the Greek island of Kos next to rescue some more stranded holidaymakers.

That is a very cool story. The rich and wealthy doing things to help others that are in tough situations....what a novel concept.

Then again, rockers have always been the coolest people anyway.
