When I heard about the crash and that it was in a trainer, my first thought was it was a T-6... Like this: ![[Linked Image]](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8274/15627984297_f02f61fdb3_b.jpg) SNJ5 by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr I've got over 20,000 hrs time behind engines like these....P&W R-1340. Never let me down...always got me home! Oh...these belong to my son. Awesome... a great bird and not easy for a novice. It's incredible such a difficult airplane to fly could have ever been a "trainer." But you knew that (grin). My old man, 1951... he loved flying acrobatics in the T6. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa326/bradmacmt/dadt-6_zps6a1d4d87.jpg)

I've been told by a couple old time pilots that trainer aircraft were often harder to fly than the craft they flew in combat.They said it seperated the wheat from the chaf.

Yes. He was headed towards the ocean, the end of the runway is just over a mile from the beach. Good thing it quit when it did or he might have gone swimming with no golfing Doctors around.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

Yeah, if you have a forced landing aim for a golf course for prompt medical attention.

News this morning is saying that he is OK! ![[Linked Image]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Restored_Ryan_NR-1_trainer_in_flight.jpeg/300px-Restored_Ryan_NR-1_trainer_in_flight.jpeg) The airplane was the Ryan ST-3KR, 100mph cruise and 60mph STALL... Variant of ST-3 with a Kinner R-5 radial engine of 160 hp, "One Built". Link Looks like it was a pretty early version of the WW2 trainer, and a one of a kind... Phil

Looks like a pre WW 2 era Stearman trainer... Not even close. It's a Ryan PT-22... Yes, this.

Dennisaz: Thankfully Mr. Ford is going to recover - I don't like to see liberals "killt" by any means, even Hollywood liberals.
I was even sad when ultra-liberal John Denver died in a similar self flying incident/crash.
I did learn (remember) that this is Mr. Ford's third aircraft downing incident - maybe he should reconsider his hobby?
And I was also reminded that Mr. Ford on two seperate occassions used his flying skills and his own private planes to find/rescue lost/injured people.
Maybe some of that "good" Karmha came back to save him this time around.
IIRC the report I saw this morning relayed how Mr. Ford broke a leg (ankle), a hip and had several other injuries - thankfully none of which were life threatening as was reported initially on both cnn and FOX early on yesterday.
Yeah maybe he should take up GOLF?

News this morning was saying that it was his long years of flying and the views from the air that brought about his environmental stances.
Said he has been flying since the early 60's and has 8 personal airplanes, and as you said has used them, his time, and funds in many humanitarian instances.

- man up and get it done, here publically, or I will call you out individually and by name!
GO HAWKS!

VarmintGuy What sort of example are you continuing to set for all the little Varmitguys & Varmitgals of the world? They have always looked up to you... Now man up, get it done, and face the seahawk elephant in the room or we will be forced to have Harrison Ford fly over your house on his next solo flight (if they don't pull his medical card from this accident)!!!!
