Harrison Ford found a crop that almost missed, at a time, driving a private vintage fighter like a dust.
In his single engine in 1942 Ryan Airways ST3KR survived a hard crash landing at Santa Monica Airport, nearly two years ago, previously known as Korean solo actor accidentally flying directly in California, Orange County, loaded commercial jet Machine, when he mistakenly landed on a taxiway instead of a runway, according to NBC News.
No one was injured, Ford safely landed his single engine Husky on a Monday afternoon event – a modern, American-made field flight.
However, he could suspend his pilot license after the Federal Aviation Administration has completed the investigation.
According to NBC News, the 74-year-old was correctly informed that landing at the John Wayne airport runway 20-L, but mistakenly aimed at a taxiway.
Along the way he buzzed over a parked American Airlines 737, which was carrying 116 souls and departed safely just a few minutes later.
Ford was heard saying “Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?” on recordings captured by air traffic controllers, who then told him of his mistake.
Honest mix-up or not, landing on a taxiway is a violation of FAA rules.
Ford may very well get away with just a warning here, but whatever the consequences, he made off far better than on March 5, 2015, when his World War II-era training aircraft lost power.
An experienced and highly regarded pilot who collects vintage planes, Ford was able to put that single-engine plane down on the fairway of a municipal golf course – a move that won him hero’s status for avoiding the dense residential areas all around – breaking his arm and suffering minor head injuries in the process.
A rep for Ford did not immediately return a request for comment.
