Too much garbage to copy/paste.
Saw this earlier, hope he fares well. He seems to be one of Hollyweirds decent guys.
Cool old trainer he was in, pre WWII PT22?
One thing I was thinking- no fire, no fuel.
Think your right because the PT19 was a biplane. Well at least he was ok sucks about the plane though.
Dang! Glad he was okay. A little troubling in the article saying he has had multiple crashes. That is not good!
lol
"Ford is a longtime aviator -- piloting planes and helicopters -- and has crashed multiple times in the past."
Looks like he isn't any good at piloting anything other than a space ship?
Han Solo lives!
I'd say it was damned lucky that he happened to crash at the golf course where two doctors were playing through at the time.
Another filming delay on the movies i imagine.
I don't know what his politics are like for guns, but he's definitely in favor of the freedoms provided by private aviation. He's been a great supporter and spokesperson for general aviation. The Aircraft Owner's & Pilot's Association (AOPA) is an advocate for private aviation and Mr. Ford has served as an AOPA spokesperson and advocate in meetings with the DC bureaucrats as well as appearing in promotional videos encouraging people to take up flying as a hobby.
Believe it or not, private aviation is under attack by our government in much the same way as gun ownership is. I don't know what the government's end game is, but it sure seems to me that it wants to squelch anything I personally deem as being entertaining or "fun".
IMHO, Mr. Ford is definitely one of the good guys.
Good guy for sure. Chairman at Wings over the Rockies Museum, too, I believe.
He's also big into search and rescue operations, and has rescued a few stranded hikers in his own private helicopter.

A golf course...I'm surprised Obama wasn't there too.
Now that's an Obama joke I can get behind! LMAOQuote:

From TMZ, damn good maneuvering to that spot!

Just managed to avoid the houses. Looks like he made good use of his experience.
Saw this morning where he radioed ATC immediately after taking off that he had engine failure and requested immediate emergency return.
He didn't make it.
Kudos to his aviator skills that he was able to set it down in a relatively safe area.
Speedy recovery to him.
Looking at the wreckage, it looks to me like more of a "unintended landing" than a "crash". This would explain the lack of fire. Lots of small planes have crash landings and don't burst into flames.Quote:

He rarely kills with a gun in his movies, actually. Most of the time, his characters use a gun as a last resort... Indy uses a whip 99% of the time, and shot a guy exactly once in 4 movies. He shot Greedo, but he was also a smuggler. The rest of the time he uses weapons, it's in self defense against storm troopers. Air Force One, I don't think he actually kills anyone, but they're all terrorists, so who cares. Blade Runner, he only killed murderous robots.
Does he disrespect or violate people's civil rights in his movies?Quote:

Not to get too involved in drift but......:D in "Raiders" he shoots the guy with the sword and the guy driving the truck he thinks has Marion (sp?) in a basket and in AF1 he shoots the guy he's fighting in the onboard office area and strangles the guy he fights down in the cargo area.Quote:

As for his flying-well how many of us have had accidents while on the road? The bad part for aviation is that when the engine dies you can't just coast to the side of the road.
Anything a human pilots in the air is mechanical. Shit happens. Doesn't mean he's a bad pilot.
He's not that good of an actor, not much difference from American Graffiti to Ender's Game. But, he was a good enough pilot to just about walk away from a crash landing and not hurt anyone else. I'll give him that.
He likes planes they don't make parts for anymore.
I have seen that movie and I can't remember any reference to him being a replicant. In fact this is the first time I have seen that reference anywhere.Quote:

It's referenced very subtlely as being possible, in the Director's Cut. Both Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford said years later that Deckard is in fact a replicant.Quote:

There was a book?? DERP... 😋
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" By Phillip K Dick. His stuff is short, but challenging.
I was going to read it, but books are so difficult to get your hands on these days that I just ended up buying a machine gun and a bucket of Corona instead.
Bwhaaa haaa haaa [LOL]Quote:

Good book. Better than the movie.
If I could only choose one; a great book, or a gun...it would be a very sad day and a terribly difficult choice for me. I pray that choice never has to be made.
Well said.Quote:

He spends thousands of his own dollars to promote and protect the GA industry. In my book he's solid. He just loves to fly.Quote:
