A nice tribute to Harrison Ford

By Janice Wood · June 30, 2009 ·

The June 29 issue of All Things Aviation includes a nice tribute to Harrison Ford, best known to the general public as an actor but well known to general aviation as a pilot and current leader of the Young Eagles program.

“Harrison Ford has taken flying the way it should be taken, in baby steps,” the article points out. “Starting with a Cessna Caravan and remaining a Cessna fan he now flies a Citation 680 Sovereign. But not as a single-piot aircraft. Nope, instead Harrison employs a full-time 20,000 hour experienced pilot to ride shotgun.”
