Harrison Ford should give up on the whole flying thing...

A near miss with a commercial flight
I'm convinced that as GOAT as Harrison Ford is, he sucks as a pilot.

No one person has benefited more from "right place, right time" than Harrison Ford. Dude was just lucky.

The Federal Aviation Administration told NBC News that controllers gave Ford the proper landing instructions and that he read them back. According to NBC anchor Tom Costello, the FAA is opening an investigation into the incident. The news anchor also tweeted that American Airlines is asking both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board to open an investigation into the incident.
If Ford is found at fault, his pilot license — which he uses to operate his vintage plane collection — could be suspended, though he may also just receive a warning letter.
A rep for the actor had no comment.
The actor has been involved in several piloting accidents in the past. The most serious was in 2015, when he crash-landed at a Santa Monica golf course after encountering engine trouble. Ford, who was flying a yellow vintage fighter plane, suffered a broken arm and lacerations to his scalp.
“He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely,” a rep for Ford said in a statement at the time, adding that the actor’s injuries were “not life-threatening”
An eyewitness on the scene of the 2015 crash told PEOPLE: “During takeoff, the engine blew. You could hear it go silent, and then he banked to the left, clipped the tree and fell on the number 8 tee.”
Ford had another scare in the summer of 2000 when his six-passenger plane took a hard landing in Lincoln, Nebraska, but the actor was not hurt. Ford also crash-landed a helicopter in October 1999 while he was practicing emergency landings with a flight instructor.

The Yellow Peril crash really wasnt his fault. It could have been a lot worse, if no golf course.

If you fly long enough, you'll have several incidents. Most pilots I know have at least crash landed or landed without power a time or two.

You live in Alaska, most people you know have probably gotten in several fights with bears and rode a few crab boats to the bottom of the Bering Sea only to swim back to shore.

Maybe he should just fly planes made in the past 50 years.

When you mistake a taxiway for a runway it is time to hang it up...

“Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?”
Was this his first visual indication that something wasn't quite right?

Told my wife that if a plane had a left turn blinker his would still be on.
