- Iron Maiden's 1988 album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" came 30th in Classic Rock Magazine's list of the 30 greatest concept albums of all time.
- Was asked to join the United Kingdom's Olympic fencing team. Dickinson turned it down since he was on tour with Iron Maiden.
- Lead singer for British heavy metal band Iron Maiden since 1982.
- Currently a first officer for the UK-based charter airline Astraeus. He flies the Boeing 737-300 and slightly larger 737-700.
- I never intended to become a professional pilot. But, as I became more curious about aircraft, and, well, not being John Travolta, I realized that the only way I was ever going to fly a jet is if I got a job.
- Iron Maiden is an institution, and I'm delighted that I'm involved in it, but there was a time that I wasn't delighted so I quit.
- If you really want to annoy me, ask me when I'm going to retire from rock n' roll.
- I'm trying to be as green as I can. As an airline pilot, I have a carbon footprint that's a size 10, so it's pretty hard.
- My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'
