Harrison Ford Back on his Feet and Flying Again!

Solo & Chewie

Only 3 months after Harrison Ford was seriously hurt in a plane crash, the 72-year-old actor was spotted flying again, this time co-piloting a helicopter…

 

 

It appears that nothing can keep the pilot of the Millennium Falcon from flying. In a period of less than a year Ford sustained 2 major injuries. He broke his left leg while shooting The Force Awakens back in June 2014, and recently broke his pelvis and ankle, and suffered a severe laceration to his head, in an accident with his Second World War-era plane. The 72-year-old actor recovered remarkably quickly from both accidents.

 

 

Ford's Tesla

 

Last Wednesday Ford was seen behind the wheel of his silver Tesla in LA. This was his first public appearance since the plane crash on March 5.

Now some fresh photos from yesterday show the actor in great spirits walking again, smiling, and…. co-piloting a helicopter.

Ford did just a brief spin with the chopper, before landing again, and heading off the runway. It’s really impressive that the actor is flying again only 3 months after the horrible crash. The staff at SW7N wishes all the best to Mr. Ford and we hope that he will continue to fly modern aircraft from this century.

    Except that in a Helicopter, the PIC (Pilot in charge) sits on the right.

    Harrison Ford is the only guy alive that needs to dial down his own heroism to play Han and Indy. Hats off, Mr. Ford — you’re the best!

      Harrison Ford is one amazing dude! I can’t believe people want to replace someone so cool. I think that the people who want to replace him in any upcoming movies are just jerks who don’t think he’s worth it. I would do anything to meet him!!

    doesn’t seem to have any gnarly disfiguring injuries, which is cool. weird to think how much older he is than Sean Connery in Last Crusade. he is of a very robust constitution, much like Clint Eastwood. hope they don’t kill him off in TFA. i hate the idea of JJ undoing the happily ever after both audience and characters worked towards in ROTJ.

      smh. Those people that state “GL stole/raped my childhood” have got to be some of the most irrational and senile people for making such ridiculous statement like that. They say it like if GL went back in time to change their memories by alternating the past and it’s gotten to the point where whatever they say should be rendered meritless. They also seem like they have no life (probably a bunch of losers and loners).

      As for Ford, I’m glad that he’s ok but I wouldn’t be surprised if his character was killed off. It’s been stated many times that he has wanted his character to be killed off as he didn’t want to play Solo anymore (let’s not forget that he was the last one to get on board to reprise his role in TFA); heck, even going as far back as the OT, Ford wanted his character to be dead (hence why they ended ESB with him being frozen in carbonite) and it took more pay and some convincing for him to return in ROTJ.

        To be fair… the prequels predate the OT chronologically… when I was a kid I spent many years pondering what Darth Vader was like as a young person. I imagined someone that wasn’t intolerably whiny/ bratty. Even Obi Wan wasn’t done right… as he had stated in a new Hope… he was the reckless one, not Anakin. That’s not to say that the PT raped my childhood, but the PT star wars doesn’t connect properly with the OT star wars.

        & man… Harrison Ford! For his next trick, He will survive a nuclear explosion… without the aid of a refrigerator.

          I’m sorry but can you quote the direct line that Obi-Wan said in A New Hope that he was the reckless one and not Anakin? I remember nothing at all like that.

            I know its not the movies but the Clone Wars cartoon does show Obi-Wan doing reckless things. He followed the rules but did act more like Qui-Gon as the war progressed, taking chances and doing dangerous missions when necessary

        Two thoughts, Harrison ford has had the most publicly successful post-Star Wars career of the original cast. He worked hard for that, he knows that Han Solo launched him, but he doesn’t want to be remembered as JUST Han Solo. I can totally understand why he doesn’t want Han Solo to be the last role he plays.
        I can also understand from a character standpoint, would Han Solo really make it to old age with the kinds of choices he makes and chances he takes? Highly unlikely.

        People act like Lucas went back to his beloved OT and added more CGI and changed iconic scenes, voices, and characters and then made a new trilogy that was completely filled with CGI, bad dialogue, and cringe inducing scenes and plot points that further tarnished the OT.. All completely baseless!

          There is CGI e.g. the Jabba Palace new song scene that looks like it should have never happened. But I thoroughly enjoyed the prequel. I’m sure GL doesn’t give a crap what you think. Get over it. You people whine worse than Luke in episode IV.

            Was Lucas hurt by the backlash or does he not give a crap? Which is it? It can’t be both..
            The truth is.. he does care. Why else would he put so much crap fan service in the prequels? He wanted to please the fans.. make no mistake about it!

      Actually, Ford always wanted Solo to be killed in ESB…and, beside that, I don’t see how killing Han Solo after 30+ years could possibly ruin the ending of RotJ.

        Watch out or Lucas may want to change “Empire” again to have Han say “You look strong enough to pull the ears off a gungan!” It actually is kind of a nice image though.

    totally off topic here but is it just me that thinks the new chewbacca in the image that goes with this article…just looks too new, too clean like he just stepped out of the salon. its been 30 years since we seen him, next to craggy old Han its just doesnt sit right i dont think, happy to see him but just think he would be more….lived in.

      This is a problem a lot of us have been having. In comparison to his more rugged look in ROTJ, Chewey certainly does look very well groomed. None of us are sure what they’re lives are like this long after EpVI. There could be a good reason for why he looks freshah denah mafuckah

      i don’t know, Wookies have really long life like 300 or 400 years. I assume he was a young adult wookie in ROTS so 60 years is nothing for him and he should always be in his prime life.

      Besides that i saw rumors and concepts art where Chewie had a prothesis arm (right arm) so i might had through some epic battle.

      For me he looks like to the Chewie for Episode 3 but without the CGI.

            There isn’t a single frame of Episode 3 where Chewie wasn’t Peter Mayhew in a costume. You’re seeing shit that isn’t there and didn’t happen.

    Nope! Crazy. Good for him.

    Ford has always seemed to favor Indiana Jones over Han Solo but I think this is evidence that he’s got more of Solo in him that Jones. It would be hard to keep Han out of the Millennium Falcon but Indiana never flies by choice!

    I agree with some here in that Harrison wanted Han dead after Empire. I am ok with this. I just hope he dies heroically.

    Harrison’s a tough son of a bitch but when you keep having major accidents and you’re over seventy it’s time to start exercising a little more caution before something happens that you can’t walk away from.

    Yah know, considering his age it’s quite remarkable how resilient his body is.
    As someone whose Dad had 3 vertabrae replaced, I can tell you: This kind of body-damage is a lot of grief to recuperate from, so good for him having an awesome doctor and awesome bone-structure.
