A small plane piloted by Harrison Ford has crash-landed at an L.A. golf course ... but we're told the actor has survived. TMZ has learned ...

Emergency personnel arrived to the scene a short time later.

It would help if he was sitting in the pilot’s seat.

If you’ve got to crash a plane, a golf course is as good a place to find a doctor as any.

Indeed! With time for those without appointments.

A power off landing in a plane that light and easy to fly should be a piece of cake. I do not understand why the all seem to bend the airplane when this happens. I can land a Cessna 150 on a par three, engine out one eye shut.

Wouldn’t that be a Kalashnikov B52 Fighter, with a Glock AR-15 modification package and a 30 round magazine rack?

Holy crap....looks like my brothers PT-22 Ryan he sold a few years back. Must of lost power and these things don't glide very well as they purposefully had a glide slope like a larger fighter to train pilots in WWII. The AT6 and Stearman were easier to fly and land. The PT-22 had beefy landing gear and it looks like he came down hard enough to fold the gear up and bend the engine faring. I bet he has more than a few cuts and more like a fractured vertebra or two in his back at his age.

Prayers for Mr. Ford and hope is okay.

That’s what I thought-it looked like a PT-22. I read somewhere they were notoriously hard to fly.

This reminds me of the crash with a small plane in my county not too long ago. The pilot, a doctor... had crashed at the same airport two months before. He went out and bought a more expensive plane. His last crash went into a home and killed a young Mom with her two kids (one being a small infant). Sometimes in life... there are warnings. Some heed them.. some don’t.

Learning experiences, NOT.

At least Ford didn’t hit any golfers.

Golf course on a Thursday. Better than an ER.

Some golfers suck so bad they pull planes out of the sky.

I read the same thing you stated about the plane. Back in the 1950’s a close friend and I considered buying one but did not.(It was more a pipe dream than an actual potential buyer seller deal.)

Two doctors who happened to be at the golf course...
Gee, what are the chances of that being the case?
