Harrison Ford Does It Again!
Harrison Ford in Incident With Passenger Plane at California Airport. Actor Harrison Ford was involved in a potentially serious incident Monday in California as he was piloting his private plane, a single-engine Husky.  Ford, an experienced pilot who collects vintage planes, had been instructed to land on runway 20-L at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, but mistakenly aimed for a taxiway, instead. His plane passed over the top of an American Airlines 737 carrying 110 passengers and a six-person crew. The passenger plane, AA flight 1546, managed to depart safely for Dallas just minutes after the incident. Ford, 74, was heard on air traffic control recordings asking, "Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?" Air traffic controllers then informed Ford that he had landed on a taxiway rather than the runway — a violation of Federal Aviation Administration safety rules. The FAA told NBC News that controllers gave Ford the proper landing instructions and that he read them back. The incident has prompted an FAA investigation — which could result in a simple warning letter to a suspension of Ford's pilot's license. Ford has been involved in a series of crashes and near-crashes while flying aircraft. In 2015, he crash-landed a World War II-era airplane on a Santa Monica, California, golf course after the engine failed.  |

Re: Harrison Ford Does It Again!
here's a small portion of Chicago's O'Hare airport: it isn't too difficult for me to imagine how there might be some occasional confusion for a hobbyist pilot   · |

Re: Harrison Ford Does It Again!
Runways have numbers, taxiways have letters  He was calling the the wrong tower at one point Maybe stick to grass strips, and unicom airports  |
