Muppet News flash: Royal Mail to offer Iron Maiden postage stamps.
That's awesome.
Wish the USPS had them!
NINJEDIT: I wonder how long before you can just upload a jpg to usps.com and get Forever stamps with some sort of digital mark that actually carries the official postage...

Looks like that was an option but no longer exists. PhotoStamps is no more.
In reply to dxman92 :
Very cool–thanks for sharing.
So, the incident mentioned in that article:
The tour was not without incident though, with a ground tug striking and damaging two of its engines during a towing mishap in Santiago, Chile – the job of flying in and fitting replacements was completed within eight days.
There was a piece in the Maiden fan club magazines (yes, I'm a member) that detailed that experience. The TL;DR was that, yes, a ground tug struck two of the planes engines. Pretty sure the plane was parked when this happened.
Okay, now what? You have a world tour involving a plane that has been configured specifically for your needs, and your next stop isn't around the corner.
The piece detailed how the crew had to solve the problem and keep the tour on hand. They had to hire trucks, work with customs, etc., to get the crew and gear across several boarders and to the next venues.
At the same time, new engines had to be flown in, installed and certified in order to get Ed Force One back online.
It was an insightful peek behind the curtain.
