Bio:
Classic band /nwobhm...The Black Box Recordings Vols 1 & 2 are available to order from the Airforce FaceBook page shop.Chop Pitman (guitars) and Tony Hatton (bass) played together in a band called E.L-34. However the band split up in the mid-1980s.Chop was a very good friend of Steve Harris ( Iron Maiden ) and mentioned to Steve that he was looking for a drummer to form a new band along with Tony Hatton. Steve Harris introduced Chop to former Iron Maiden drummer Doug Sampson.Steve Harris took Doug Sampson to the studio and Chop Pitman .. Steve Harris and Doug Sampson had a jamming session together. Doug Sampson then decided to join Chop Pitman and Chop's ex-bandmate Tony Hatton.Airforce was Born...The band gigged together for over 11 yrs with various vocalists.They then decided to go on their separate ways and were involved with other projects - Chop Pitman carried on with the band name Airforce with various musicians.In 2010 he met up with vocalist Dilian Arnaudov through a friend and asked him to stand in for a gig as Airforce vocalist. After a while Dilian had to return to his native Bulgaria due to family issues but he stayed in touch with Chop.In 2015 Airforce was contacted by Watchout Records and was asked if the band would supply a track for the "Origins of Iron" cd which featured all ex Iron Maiden members.Airforce then released a Compilation album ( "Judgement Day" ) in 2016 which stirred a renewed interest in the band.Doug Sampson and Tony Hatton came to the launch party of that album and at that point It was collectively decided to get the original band back together. After they auditioned Dilian Arnaudov, the missing piece of the puzzle was found.Dilian and the band wasted no time in writing new material and performing all over the UK and other parts of Europe.In 2018 Airforce released two E.P.s: "The Black Box Recordings" volumes 1 and 2. Paul Di'Anno (ex-Iron Maiden singer) was invited to record 1 song ('Sniper') for the 2nd EP.Later that year, Italian singer Ivan Giannini (Derdian, Vision Divine) started helping the band fulfill their live commitments.In January 2019 Airforce recorded 1 song with Paul Mario Day on vocals. Paul Mario Day was the very first singer of Iron Maiden and also sang with More, Wildfire and Sweet).
