An investigation has been launched into an incident in which actor Harrison Ford was piloting a small plane that wrongly crossed a runway where another aircraft was landing. A publicist for the Indiana Jones star told media he misheard a radio instruction from the air traffic controller (ATC). Ford, who played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, was at the controls of a two-seat Aviat Husky light plane. The actor (77) came under investigation in 2017 after he mistakenly flew his single-engine private plane over an American Airlines passenger jet and landed on a taxiway, rather than a runway, at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana. The FAA did not discipline the actor over that incident, but asked him to complete awareness training.
