My former boss took off in a fog. He was on the taxiway by mistake. As he was accelerating, he saw a fuel truck in front of him. He pulled back on the yoke hard and cleared the truck by about 20 feet.

I think it was Harrison Ford who landed his Aviat Husky on a taxiway, narrowly missing a loaded 737.

Harrison does have that Mister Magoo reputation as s pilot.Any non celebrity would have lost their pilot license by now. John Travolta is another such pilot, but he doesn’t seem to keep having “difficulties” in the cockpit.
