After 4 crash landings I think it
is about time someone tells Harrison Ford to calm down and do more
walking. I am not even talking about all
his near crash landings in his movies either. What makes movie stars think they
are invincible? I think every actor who played Superman died from adventurous
death. One of them actually jumped out a window. Did he think he could fly too?
He played characters like Indiana
Jones and Hans Solo. He even flew a plane and made Anne Heche stranded on an
island in the movie called Six Days and Seven Nights. Well we should thank him
for getting rid of her for a week but all the rest of his crashes are just down
right dangerous for all the rich doctors
trying to have a peaceful golf game. They don’t want to have to save his old
life again. They just want to play golf without him destroying their course.
Yes, our action hero survived a
real stunt again. He crashed his plane in the middle of a golf course in Los
Angeles. He is in fair condition and the doctors who ran to the wreckage were
surprised he survived the crash. Harrison was pulled out of a vintage World War
II plane. In Indiana Jones he admitted that he didn’t know how to fly. This
plane was so old it had stars painted on its wings and you had to wear a crash helmet
because it had just a windshield. His trip began at Santa Monica Airport and within less than 2 miles from the
airport his engine is down and needs to land.
He does not make it back to the runway.
He is down at the tee of the 8th hole in Penmar Golf Course. He is 72 years old and at that age he is losing engine power too. This isn’t the first time he has crash landed. A helicopter he was in went down in 1999. The very next year he crash landed a plane in Nebraska. Somehow he has survived every crash since he has been flying for the past 20 years. The title of his documentary called Just Another Pilot says a lot of about how he sees himself. He simply loves to fly. It is a passion he shared with Barbara Walters in a 2008 interview. He said, ”I love the freedom of flight and the places you go.” Well, this time he went 2 miles and crashed the nose of the plane on the golf course. It is time for a man in his seventies to walk the golf course.
The plane was a 1942 Ryan PT22 an
antique like him that belongs in a museum. It was manufactured the same year he
was born. Col. Stephen Garnyard USMC (Ret.) a former fighter pilot and deputy
Assistant Secy. Of State said “To fly these really old planes is fairly
dangerous and to take on a level of risk.” Harrison! Go risk your life in the
movies not over our heads please. He is expected to make a full recovery. God
help us.
