FOX- Harrison Ford is being investigated for making an error while operating a plane this week in California, according to a report.
A rep for the actor, who is an avid flyer, confirmed to Fox News that he was involved in a “runway incursion” at the Hawthrone Airport in Southern California on April 24.
“Mr. Ford crossed the airport’s only runway in his aircraft after he misheard a radio instruction from ATC. He immediately acknowledged the mistake and apologized to ATC for the error,” the rep shared in a statement. “The purpose of the flight was to maintain currency and proficiency in the aircraft.”
The rep confirmed no one was injured and there was “never any danger of a collision.”
According to airport audio obtained by TMZ, Ford, 77, failed to follow a tower operator’s direction to “hold short” on the runway due to “traffic” as he operated the aircraft from the runway to the taxiway. more
Here’s one from 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=VUsWL8d9d1A&feature=emb_logo.
Maybe if you’re 77 years old you shouldn’t be flying a plane.
…he landed on a taxiway once too,damn near clipped the vertical stabilizer on a commercial jet, he THINKS he’s Han Solo, but he’s NOT…

He was on his way to accept Biden’s VP nomination.
He was probably busy drafting an anti-Trump comment for Twitter.
Sky Biden
He’s Harrison Fucking Ford, so FAA gives him a pass every time. Anyone else would have at the very least, had their license suspended after the last incident, and revoked after this incident. Hopefully, when he eventually kills himself he doesn’t take anyone with him. Also, “Avid Flyer” does not mean “good pilot”.
I’VE BEEN STAYING AWAY FROM LA FOR AWHILE CUZ THIS ASSHOLE MAY BE OVERHEAD!!
A family member bumped into him a few years back at an FBO; the guy is a flaming asshole.
Maybe if you’re 77 years old and have a history with multiple incidents of pilot error you shouldn’t be flying a plane.
Not the first time he has had some flying/procedure issues.
2017 – too close
2015 – crash
2000 – left runway
1999 as student learning helicopter.
and this one – 2020.

I feel so bad for pilots who get out of the cockpit with their terrorized Service dogs. Then they get their white canes chopped up by the propeller. Some of those guys need more training.
Crash landed on a golf course. Kennedy much?

Ford said, “what’s all the FLAP about? I’m a great pilot; I just get in there and WING it. Hey, I gotta give PROPS to my buds in the FAA.”
The evidence shows he flies his planes just like he did the Millenium Falcon; really shitty.
Ford isn’t the only celeb pilot jerk. I heard a story some years ago from a source that suggests it’s true. A Fokker F28, tail number N500WN, was nearing LAS (McCarran, Las Vegas) and when the pilot was told by ATC that there was a lot of traffic and that there would be a delay in landing, he declared a fuel emergency. The plane got priority of course, and everybody else in the sky had to wait a little longer to land.
After N500WN was on the ground heading for the FBO, the pilot thanked the tower by saying, “Danke Schoen”.
(The last two letters of the tail number are the other clue. Evidently somebody was running late for curtain time.)
I thought that was Ted Kaczynski! Are they going to wait until he brings down a commercial plane with lots of people before they pull his license?
harrison needs re-certification, before he injures someone else
@MJA – the worst indignity was that they wouldn’t let him play through! 🙂
A friend has a business located in the Camarillo airport complex, about an hour’s drive from Santa Monica. He frequents a particular restaurant that is on the airport tarmac, where a lot of visiting flyers stop for lunch. Harrison Ford and his buddies are regulars, used to be at least once a week, with several helicopters making the flight from Santa Monica airport. Mr. Environmentalist!
All I know is that he keeps knocking that radar dish off the Millennium Falcon, and it doesn’t even fly!
“Don’t get cocky!”
Unfortunately for HF and other people near his plane when he is PIC. “Avid flyer” doesn’t mean “skillful flyer”.
READ BACK TO ATC! In this case, READ BACK INCORRECT!
Maybe he was trying to knock a few parseks off his time.🤔
Well look at the bright side, he still haa a better record than John McCain did. And even if he is an asshoe he’s not John McCain asshoe.
Darwin is his co-pilot, and he’ll prove it soon.
HF – an old coot and a creepster.
The worst thing I ever did was leave a seat buckle dangling out the passenger side door.
Tower pointed it out.
I’ve never lived that down. How Ford can even look at himself in the mirror is beyond me.
@gin
It’s called eugenics by pilot screw up.
“…He immediately acknowledged the mistake and apologized to ATC for the error.”
Spoken like a true self-entitled leftist ass hat!
If you or I bust regs we loose our license, but the “special people” only need apologize and all is forgiven.
Ground this narcissistic egoist and five-time pooch-screwer NOW before he kills some poor innocent victim!
Harrison. Leave the reckless flying to Han Solo. He knows what he’s doing, okay? Okay.
The FAA will let him keep flying until he augers in like a lawn dart, hope nobody’s in the way.
@MJA ~ you’re probably correct … ever see interviews w/ this guy? even early on he was a vapid assclown
I wouldn’t give this guy the keys to a Big Wheel
… which makes him a perfect fit for Molestin’ Joe … Tweedledumb & Tweedledummer
“That’s no moon!”
He doesnt have much time left so maybe he should move to a rural area and a dinky airport.
