Iron Maiden’s Boeing 747, Ed Force One, was turned into 12,000 special keychains after the plane was retired.

The keychains were made by cutting off sections of the fuselage and stamping them into smaller pieces, each etched with an image of the plane, its name, and the tail number.

The keychains, priced at €66.66 each (about $72), are almost sold out.

The tags measure about 1.5 by 3.5 inches and feature an engraving of Eddie on the rear, paying homage to Iron Maiden’s iconic mascot.

The Boeing 747, which flew Iron Maiden to 117 shows on six continents, was the first 747 flown by the band’s vocalist, Bruce Dickinson.
