      That's is a completely false claim. Harrison Ford has volunteered his services flying search and rescue in his Bell helicopter near his 800-acre ranch in Jackson Hole, but he has never been involved with air ambulance services. He's rescued a couple of hikers. That's great, but ease up on the superhero bullshit, wouldja?

      But what you're supposed to say is repeat your clearance.
      Pilots though can say improper phraseology so long as the controller understands; and if they don't they can ask to clarify.

    Harry - Billy from Michigan here. I know it's been 52 yrs since we were sanding your job on Cherie & Al's Santa Monica home, but had couple nightmares of flyin' since. 1st one May '79, as returning from Hawaii. At LAX, picked up Extra Edition of L.A. Times, & there was photo of AMR 191 DC-10 Service O'Hare to that Trailer Park next door., earlier that day! Arraigned Wedding ourselves, so married couple weeks earlier, as originally planned! At L.A., I just folded paper, tucked it under my wing (aviation term), & boarded flight to O'Hare, also an AMR DC-10....but Capt only used about 70% thrust, we got in air, Capt babied it, we arrived late, but didn't land in that Trailer Park! He wasn't scared or nuthin'!! But Harry, if you think that was exciting....in '90s working MDOT, got slammed by Microburst's windshear! EB on I-96, loaded pickup picked up, then slammed back down @60 degree angle to highway, & bounced twice, w/triple load!! So what to my wondering eyes did appear, but fully loaded Liner on ILS approach to G.R., COMPLETELY STATIONARY!! 150knt headwind was ready to become 150knt tailwind, & that Buddy, is no lift at all!! You're still familiar with flyin', ain't cha Harry? W/turbines at Flt Idle, slowing to land, their gooses' was cooked!! NTSB ruled savin' anyone was impossible, but somehow this Capt had saved all 155 aboard, despite definite 100% obvious loss of all on board, plus plane fractionalized!! Don't cha wanna find out how I pulled that off, don't cha, don't cha, don't cha?? If Tom Hanks could turn his, "Sully" into a Quarter Billion Dollar Blockbuster, by simply washin' his liner in The Hudson, then think how much coin might you turn doin' The Impossible, in Sully 1000 or Sully 5000, w/neither actually exaggerating!!! I'll be chargin' ya dbl this time, Buddy Boy, not like with doin' your Carpentry, AND Acting Portfolio photos for free...., but goll dang it!!

    WOW, absolutely incredible, and with Harrison Ford both flying and narrating, it couldn't have been anything less! Yes, I too, grew up having dreams of flying. In the beginning, I would start flapping my arms as hard as I could and just be able to lift my feet off the ground just a few inches. Little by little, dream by dream, my frantic arm flapping took me higher and higher, but only a few feet. But then one dream, I got up high enough to meet the dreaded telephone lines, but I couldn't get beyond them. As my dreams progressed, I needed only to flap my arms a few times and I would start gracefully soaring up into the sky,and soon past those dreaded telephone lines. I would go higher and higher into the sky; higher than the tallest skyscrapers and through the clouds, up into the highest parts of the Atmosphere. When I got as high as I wanted in a dream, I would point my body back towards Earth, and just like Superman, which is most likely why I flew just like him ( LOL ), I would rocket back down to earth. But my dreams didn't end there. I would launch myself into the air, just like Superman, I would leave our atmosphere , head into space and keep going, willing myself to go higher and higher, farther & farther. I would leave our own galaxy behind and keep willing myself to go on & on, to the point to where there were no more galaxies. I would find myself at the very edge of the Universe; a dark and quiet place indeed. I always had a strange feeling whenever I had those particular dreams. Then, I would turn myself around and head back. Thankfully, I never got lost..LOL..!! I am 67 now and haven't had those dreams in many years, but I still have fond memories of them. Sadly, I never became a pilot, but I did spend 4 years in the Navy in an aviation squadron and got to work with some awesome planes and those few, short years are the highlight of my young adult Life. I have wished so many times over the years that I would have stayed in the Navy, or possibly even gotten into the Air Force ( as enlisted ), but I was young and all of my best friends were getting out, and I never tried to discuss my future with any of the officers or anyone else in the squadron, and so I got out.

    To all those trying to bag out Harrison Ford over his "Flying Incident" from an old fart thats learnt lots of lessons over the years (usually the hard way).
    It's easy to go through life and never make a mistake. You only have to do two things, the first is "Do absolutely Nothing" and the second is "Lie".
    The moment you do "Anything" you open your self upto making a mistake. What shows up the true character of the person is what they do next.
    Most people do the second thing, they lie!
    My understanding is that Harrison Ford called the tower after landing and admitted it was him. He could have tried to bury it, he didn't.
    Everybody makes mistakes, most people lie about them.

    My old flight instructor asked us one day, "What makes an airplane fly?"
    Many answered lift, or the airfoil, or airspeed, or a combination of the three.
    "No," my old flight instructor, said rather bemused. "Money is what makes an airplane fly!"

    Oh God how I have wished to be able to fly. For some of us our dreams are no less real and full of want than those who have reached their dreams.
    Bad things happen to Good people and when that happens those dreams are put away due to the reality of our own circumstances.
    Maybe it’s not financially possible or maybe health has stood in front of your dream of flight.
    Mr. Harrison, I too had that dream as a child. It would happen at least once a week from childhood up into my age now. I’m a couple of years behind you
    in age and I still have that dream. I look forward to that dream, and go to sleep wanting for it to happen.
    For me, in 2008 my dreams of flying were destroyed by Wall Street. My life went from being ready to fulfill my dream of buying a small plane or in my case a Roto copter. Only a few months away from finally getting to fly for real, to being forced to nearly survive, to eat, to keep a roof over our head.
    So my dreams were crossed out without enough time left to get a re-do.
    So know I live, and I pray for that dream to happen as much as possible and when it does I put out my arms and fly wherever my dream allows me to.
    I’m not bitter, I’m disappointed, I’m too old to get back what I had worked all my life to achieve. I should have kept my money in a bank, a simple savings account would have protected my life’s savings.
    Instead I put my trust in place with the wrong company and paid the price.
    But I love that dream and hope it happens again and again. For it’s the only way I will ever fly. It’s better than never having had the dream and I’m grateful for it.
    Thank you for providing us a look into your wonderful journey with flight.
    It’s much appreciated.
    Peace and safe journey to you and your family.
    ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸

I hope I can go back to flying in my old years, after my youngest one gets into college. I feel nostalgic in the early mornings when I am walking my dogs under a beautiful clear sky. I take my soul up there, and imagine the world from 1,000 ft, from 5,000 ft, from 20,000 ft. Thank you so much for this beautiful video 💕, it makes me feel ALIVE!

It just so happens that you (Harrison Ford) were on the cover of the magazine for that issue with a feature article about Flight. Dec/Jan 2010. This video for Wings over the Rockies so conveyed my feelings about flying I almost broke into tears watching it. I think Harrison Ford's greatest legacy (in addition to being a great actor) will be his ability to communicate his feelings; Our feelings - about how very deep in mankind's soul comes the love of flight.
