Harrison Ford in Near Miss with 737 at John Wayne

[Jim Young 2,356]

Uh, had a 737 below him and landed on a taxiway by mistake.  Wonder if he will get charged and fined for landing on a taxiway.

Think he needs more training with FSX or P3D and ProATC-X.... :smile:

Bad enough that he landed on a taxiway but the fact that he went over a passenger airliner would lead me to believe he'll be riding in the back of the plane for the foreseeable future.

Hate to see such a high profile mistake by a genuine aviation legend.

Didn't he crash in his plane some time ago? Maybe it's time he realize he's getting to old for this s..t, as a fellow actor said in a movie :-)

I just love the media reports. The article references a previous accident where he crash landed on a golf course after loosing the engine. An eye witness says how he saved numerous lives by rerouting the plane to crash on the golf course rather than on a group of houses. Yea like most people would aim for the houses and not the nice open golf course when trying to crash land. Self preservation helps a lot in saving lives on the ground. Yet the media have to portray him as a hero. Always makes me cringe to read these reports.

You notice how he is always alone when flying....just saying :wink:

LOL.

 

I bet he could get on Pilot Edge for free.

solo, it was a benign joke c'mon... :smile:

 

I swear, one day day they'll make a movie about this old chap, he survives more crash landings than Indiana Jones himself... All puns intended.

Hmm.. I wonder who'll play title character. Really, who could Indiana Jones Indiana Jones.

Maybe there was a snake in the cockpit with him.

He's just... playing the odds?

[CrownCityMisfits 58]

I've got a bad feeling about this...

[caaront 109]

All of my friends tell their passengers that if they lose an engine or for any reason have to go in, and it's into tree's or on a playground full of kids that they are less important than the kids and are landing in the trees.

He was doing the Kessel Run, trying to beat 12 Parsecs, a 737 got in the way

How has he retained his license that age ? Are the Aviation rules different in the US or can one have a license even at his age ?
