Rotortramp Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Stumbled upon these two videos. The Harrison Ford one is a real nice watch. (His helicopter is @ 4:52) Did not see him being a helicopter pilot: http://youtu.be/5jeLSKrBxX4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippiesdrainage Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yeah Harrison has a house and his helicopter outside Jackson Hole WY. He flies into Driggs ID every once in a while and has lunch or breakfast at the resturaunt there. Back in 2000 he saved a couple of lost hikers here in Idaho in his Bell 407 http://www.helis.com/news/2000/harrford.htm In all the times that I've flown to and from Driggs and Jackson Hole, I've never bumped into him.

Trans Lift Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) You'd think he could afford some nice new Bose headsets in that nice plane of his! They both have them actually. Edited December 9, 2012 by Trans Lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemv Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I was present when Harrison returned from taking his Commercial practical test in our Jet Ranger in Naples, Fl. many years ago. I have a picture in my den of him jumping off the dolly with a big "Yes" going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstallion6113 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I met Harrison Ford back in 2008 when I was at LAX, when I was stationed at HMX-1, the Presidential Helicopter Squadron. He wanted to tour a CH-53E and meet the crew. Talked helicopters with him for about 30 min, until we had to turn up and continue on to our part of the mission. Was really cool.

michaels214 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thats cool, Harrison Ford is awesome - Clint is cool too lol. I saw Clint down in Carmel, CA once during the pga tour some years back - more than 10 probably. I was eating a burger at RG Burgers - and in comes clint with some buddies. I would love to meet Mr. Ford though, what a great dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
