Ground him, he’s going to kill him self and a whole host of innocent people.
For starters, I guarantee he was required to pee in a cup at John Wayne after the mishap, upon further review I would bet they PULLED his Ticket for 30 days ON THE SPOT.
His Flying Days are OVER
Yikes. This is as dangerous as when Mom insists she can still drive on the freeway. Age is cruel. They need to take his license.
Apparently Dementia is setting in. Very sad, the man is an internationally beloved star, and curtailing him from flying and driving is going to be very hard for his wife and loved ones. Even harder then with others because of the whole rich and famous thing.
If the FAA have grounded him pending medical evaluation for Orange County, and then if he gets grounded, remember that if you have dementia you won’t remember or care, and if left alone he can get to his planes and fly anyway. Or try to. Or drive. It’s going to be a whole different life for him. I feel for all of them.
Alzheimer’s?
If that is not the case, the only other explanation is that he may be having "aging" issues, in which case his flying days may indeed be over.
Best wishes to one of the rare Hollywood normal and admired actors.
Harry probably needs grounding or a copilot. Maybe he can invest in a high dollar simulator. It happens to every pilot. He’s become a danger to others.
Sounds like he’s too old to be flying anymore.
Sounds like they need to keep the old dear out of the cockpit.
No big deal? Telling ATC that you're in a HELICOPTER, when you're piloting a small, single engine fixed-wing?
And he then lands on a taxiway?
I have no axe to grind with Harrison Ford, but it's pretty clear to me that he doesn't belong in the left seat of any aircraft at this point.
It'll be interesting to see if he gets the predictable 'star treatment' on this...
They should do a drug test on him. Wonder if that distant far away look is cannabis induced.
“convo”
I hate hipster abbreviations. “Spox” is another one.
Is it really too time consuming to spell out the whole word?
And yeah, Harrison Ford needs to park it. He’s obviously losing his piloting skills.
He should not fly Solo.
The runway is the one with the big numbers at each end.
Harrison Ford suffered a head injury in the golf course emergency crash landing two years ago.
Head injuries at any age are statistically correlated to cognitive impairment, especially head injuries sustained later in life.
Howard Hughes had multiple head injuries from multiple plane crashes.
Reagan had head trauma after the assassination attempt when his head smacked the limousine roof as he was pushed into the back seat, plus, anesthesia for two major surgeries (bullet and colon cancer), plus, shortly after his term ended, he fell from a horse at his ranch and sustained a concussion.
Harrison Ford was also under general anesthesia after his severe leg injury on the Star Wars set a couple years back.
