Take the airplane keys away from Harrison Ford.
He was cleared for landing and nearly crashed his plane into a 737 because Ford confused the taxiway for the runway.
“Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?” Ford, 74, can be heard asking on air traffic control recordings of the incident. Controllers explained to Ford that, despite the fact that he’d read back the correct landing instructions he’d been given, he had mistaken the taxiway for the runway he was supposed to land on. The FAA is investigating; Ford’s alleged actions violate FAA safety rules, and the organization could issue him a warning or go so far as to suspend his pilot’s license. Ford, who collects vintage aircraft, crash-landed a World War II-era plane on a golf course in 2015 after the engine failed and crash-landed a helicopter in 1999 during a lesson. In 2000, another one of his planes was involved in an emergency landing. But NBC notes that the actor “is revered as an excellent pilot in aviation circles.”

Sure he is. And Elvis was a black belt.
there should be a permanent notam issued around the socal area for flyers to beware, a flying ford may be in the vicinity
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
“Don’t worry…I know some maneuvers.”
…and if you can use the airplane again, it’s a perfect landing.
He’s already had one pretty bad plane crash, right? O na golf course, I think.
Don’t become the next “John Denver Experience” on South Park, Harrison.
the Millenium Falcon had Chewbacca as co-pilot, so no, he isnt as good as they think he is.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
only hope he ends up just killing himself & not involve other people

so where is it that this thespian has to be that he needs a plane to fly to get there? go ahead hford, kill some peeps with your plane next time so their families can sue whats left of your estate. these thespians have no f’n clue do they? they think their gonna live forever. idiots
BTW, is he still banging that grouper-faced, slack-jawed, scrawny, pasty, Caspar-white dipshit?
Perhaps he’s had enough and wants to get back to Princess Leia?
I’ve seen pictures of Elvis and it looked like he mostly wore white belts.
Jesus Christ take his keys away. He is going to kill someone it’s only a matter of time.

Arrogance. You can’t take my license; don’t you know who I am?
No more parsecs for you, Solo.
Why would you want to risk ruining your legacy by flying your plane into another plane carrying hundreds of people. The story writes itself
Cool Beaver…! (Y)
He should fly around Christmas time near the DC mall.
He’s honestly just being a stereotypical stubborn ‘old’ person. He likes flying, but he doesn’t have his bearings anymore, so he really shouldn’t. Now, the reason they won’t take away his license IS because of who he is, but I honestly believe that Ford is just stubborn and old and likes his planes.
Bill Whittle, an excellent pilot, respects Ford for his flying ability so that’s a plus, but his age is a minus, and there’s no way a man his age has the reaction speed, eyesight, or ability he once had.
It’s hard to give up something you really love but this incident should convince it’s no longer safe and he needs to take the copilot seat from now on. Sorry, but it’s time to Han in your license.

Next one will be a Sonny moment into
a tree.
Ban Solo.
I reckon he gets airborne and figures he’ll just wing it
Anyone can land an airplane.
Surviving the landing, that’s a different story.
