Aw c'mon. Just aim for the ones with skid marks.

Video of Harrison Ford flying over an airliner emerges

A video surfaced Tuesday showing actor and turned pilot Harrison Ford narrowly hitting a plane at an airport in Southern California last week, multiple reports say.

The 45-second clip showed Ford, 74, flying his yellow, single-engine Aviat Husky dangerously over an American Airlines 737 while it was taxing at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif., The Associated Press and TMZ reported. Ford's plane was supposed to have landed on a runway which runs parallel to the taxiway, AP added in its report.

In released audio from air traffic control tower, Ford is heard asking, "Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?", AP reported.

The Federal Aviation Administration told USA TODAY last week that it is investigating the "incident', but would not confirm if it involved the Star Wars and Indiana Jones star. FAA policy forbids identifying people involved in aircraft incidents or accidents.

Landing on a taxiway instead of a runway as instructed is a safety no-no under FAA rules. After an investigation, Ford could receive a warning letter or even have his pilot's license suspended.

This is not the first time the Hollywood star has had a close encounter while maneuvering an airplane.

Back in March 2015, the longtime flying enthusiast crash-landed his vintage single-engine airplane on a golf course after taking off from Santa Monica Airport. Months later, the National Transportation Safety Board reported the crash wasn't his fault: A problem with a carburetor part led to engine failure and the crash.

Ford was praised for making an emergency landing without hurting anyone else.

"Landing on a taxiway instead of a runway as instructed is a safety no-no under FAA rules."
You don't say!

I know him casually. He is an arrogant jerk.

That video made me smile, thanks!

Time to quit flying, Mr. Ford. Maybe live up to your name, and stick to driving Fords instead...

[AngelAssassin]

He's probably too old to be driving cars as well… The next thing you know he'll be caught driving the wrong way on the Santa Monica freeway!

[Teon]

Yeah it’s getting to old to fly..

[texastea]

I worked with him. He is a flaming self-centered asshole. A maggot. Crew are told not to speak with him say hello or take a photo or face dismissal.
