HARRISON FORD 'COMPLETELY MISJUDGED RUNWAY' Last Second Save on Taxiway

This is a photo of Harrison Ford landing on the taxiway Monday at John Wayne Airport ... and the person who took the pic says the actor was totally out of position seconds before he touched down.

The man who shot the photo had just arrived on a commercial flight and was looking out the terminal window waiting for a friend, when he saw Ford's plane coming in for a landing. He tells TMZ Ford had "completely misjudged the runway" and was not in position to land. The man grabbed his phone to snap a pic, thinking the pilot might crash, when Ford "banked really sharp." He says the plane was "very close to the ground" when it banked and "hit hard" on the taxiway seconds later. You see the ramp agent in the photo ... he seemed "shocked," according to the guy who took the pic.

The eyewitness account differs from the story that's being told that Ford simply mistook the taxiway for the runway.

I wonder if Ford is starting to lose it. Sad for him if so.

Taking off from an airfield ain’t like dusting crops boy, you fly to close to a star or bounce to close to a supernova and that would end your day real quick wouldn’t it?

Ford needs to hand in his flying googles. He is a menace.

I think we are having some ‘depth perception’ problems.
One of his kids needs to hide those keys from Daddy before somebody gets hurt, like permanently hurt.
If some licensing organization doesn’t step in, and Harrison kills someone, that organization may be held partially liable for not overseeing the quality of their license holders.

Wasn’t Ford one of the guys flying over Macho Grande?

[dfwgator]

I blame Johnny....

[Yaelle]

But he’s famous so it’s cool? Seems a bit more annoying than a drone at an international airport, no?

[LadyShires]

My suspicion is dementia. Remarks from his wife make my suspicion stronger. He should not be flying a plane.

[RummyChick]

Not familiar with flying ...but would just a depth perception problem cause a person to mistake the place where you land with the place where you taxi.

Seems like cognitive AND depth perception.

Those pesky runways can be really hard to see

I’ve landed at the wrong airport flying VFR but never the wrong runway at a controlled airport. LOL. This is like playing golf and teeing up on the wrong hole. I could happen I guess. Not.

Harrison Ford could be in a remake of "North by Northwest."

My money says the FAA took his license away at the field, they are on sight at John Wayne. Either way he has some splainin to do.

A friend of mine here at Whiteman clipped part of Edwards Restricted Airspace recently and had to do 20 hours of recurrent Training on Restricted Airspace with an Instructor or a 1 year Suspension, he took the training
