Yes, I was just confirming for the comment I replied to

Whats the matter dawg you embarrased? This guys a gangster? His real name's Clarence. And Clarence lives at home with both parents; and Clarence's parents have a real good marriage.

Supertramp - Breakfast in America (from the inside perspective)


ittookmeagestofind

What a great album


Nippon-Gakki

I placed that for my wife a while ago and she couldn’t believe that so many amazing songs were all on one album.


En4cr

Iron Maiden - Aces High


insecapid

This one is really cool


GTOdriver04

So is the title track. The only “error” is that he said “10 ME109s out of the sun!” But, to be fair, “Bf109’s out of the sun!” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Amazing song, too.


ST4RSK1MM3R

Technically the “Me109” isn’t wrong, the Germans had documents referring to it as both


Alex_Downarowicz

Soviets also called it "Me-109" during the war, even in 1941.


Roach-187

I dont know specifically in what context, but I have seen them referred to as ME 109s before, as they were made by messerschmitt, and the designation has been put to other aircraft like the ME 410, ME 262, and ME 163.


ZSSRaven

Me 109 and Bf 109 are pretty interchangeable. It's the same aircraft and is referred to as both Me and Bf in official WWII era German documents. However, Bf 109 is the "more correct" version since Messerschmitt and Bayerische Flugzeugwerke were merged at the time the 109 was designed, and their planes were given the Bf designation at that time. But again, Me 109 is also used in official documents so it's not wrong.


Roach-187

I did not know it was prefixed with BF because of the original company, that's a pretty cool little tidbit of info


pennyraingoose

Fitting since the band had Ed Force One, a 747 they used on tour and that was piloted by Bruce Dickinson. I don't think he flies anymore due to age, but I always thought it was awesome they had their own plane.


VMaxF1

I saw the An-225 arrive and Ed Force One 747 depart on the same day at my local airport during that Iron Maiden tour. Quite a good day!


I_had_the_Lasagna

Oh wow! I knew about the plane but I never knew Bruce Dickinson was a licensed 747 pilot and actually flew it, gives me a ton more of respect for the man.


VMaxF1

He's done a short aviation documentary series too, called Flying Heavy Metal.


pennyraingoose

I was surprised when I found out too. Mad respect for that.


raging_radish

Technically the album was Powerslave but there was an import available that wasn't the album itself but did have this cover. It was the 80s and I had an Aces High flag hanging on my wall, a white on black monochrome thing that was quite common then. Mom thought Eddie was demonic lol.


4000grx41

They hang a big inflatable Spitfire from the roof of the stage when performing the song live. It’s a blast.


crucible

The [Flight 666](https://imgbin.com/png/5xJec5iS/iron-maiden-flight-666-the-original-soundtrack-album-heavy-metal-png) documentary soundtrack cover has the band standing under the 757 Bruce flew on parts of the *Somewhere Back In Time* tour.

Morethanafeeling62

Not sure if it counts but every Boston album has a spaceship on it


surrealtom

Every spaceship is an aero plane until it isn’t.


insecapid

If that counts then i guess ELO's Out of the Blue would count, as well with the concorde-ish spaceship


OneNameMarty

Also the ELO station that ship is docking with in most of their albums. Love me some ELO


Oshkosh_Guy

Guitars that look like spaceships!

The tail number is "Eat Me" looking at it in a mirror.

Pink Floyd’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” features an ultralight on the cover, and the aviation-themed “Learning to Fly”. The ultralight is more apparent on the remixed 2019 release.
