Hoping his injuries are more superficial than they looked. Prayers up, Mr. Ford.

Nah, My uncle, also in his seventies owns and flies a Piper Cub as old as he is. It s a beautiful Yellow Fabric Aircraft.More like a big two seated kite.

He also owns a little four seat plane. It is like a Cesna, but I can’t remember the make, aero wolf or something. . It is from the early seventies. As long as the plane is well maintained, and his are, they are as safe as any other aircraft.

You can ask any of the pilots on here, he will never give up flying. It is like a drug to these private pilots. They love it! That is what they do.

STAs cost big bucks but Harrison Ford could buy the entire Ryan STA fleet left flying in the US with his pocket change.

And the Menasco's engines are rarer than Hens Teeth. Yes they are stunning to the point plans exist to make a Replica, lots of time and $....

Perhaps this could be his life changing meet God moment, there are no atheists in foxholes.
Pray that some Christian can witness to him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

While on the golf green, Mr. Ford also received orthodontic care, psychiatric counseling and hedge fund advice.

I’d say he has more money than good sense.

Must not be a very good pilot. I think he crashed a Dh Beaver... pretty docile aircraft actually.

I think you get a free drop if a airplane crash lands on your ball?
