Brings back memories of my pal who died at the Reno Air Races last year. He used to get told all the time he looked like a young Ford.

Glad some of you posted what Varmintdouche posted.... Amazing how he only posts bad news now. It reminds him of his failings selecting, no badmouthing, the other team and those who support them. Fartintoyourdepends

His underwriter may see to that.

That looks like a Ryan, similar to the one in Wild America.

Looks like he sat down kinda hard. Let's don't be hasty passing judgment. Wait for the proctologists prognosis.

Looks like he made it to the fringe...almost to the green. If this was Par 5 he was looking at double eagle.

TV news is just now reporting that Harrison Ford the actor has crashed his airplane and is now in critical condition at a kalifornicopia hospital. Hope he survives. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

When I heard about the crash and that it was in a trainer, my first thought was it was a T-6...

Looks ideal for an emergency soft field landing; hope it was a par 5. Plane is upright and no fire. Brittle bones/age may be a big factor to injury from that image.
Local news reported there were two doctors playing there that came to his aid!
At 70 he's not the man he used to be but I've seen the guy live through some amazing stuff. One time he jumped out of a plane with no chute, just an inflatable raft.
Funny thing is I was watching that movie when I first heard he had crashed

I think Tommy Lee Jones shot down his plane. He said he'd never give up until he caught the "Fugitive", Dr. Kimball.
