Harrison Ford is Being Investigated After an Incident With a Boeing 737

Harrison Ford is being investigated after a potentially serious incident at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. NBC reports that Ford, who has a pilot’s license and was flying his own plane, reportedly was landing when it flew over a Boeing 737 American Airlines flight that was about to take off for Dallas, carrying 110 passengers.

According to NBC, Ford was told to land on a runway but seems to have mistaken the runway for a taxiway. After he landed, he reportedly asked, “Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?” Air traffic control then told him he landed in the wrong place. Landing on the taxiway as opposed to a runway is an FAA safety violation and as a result, Ford is being investigated. At worst, he could lose his pilot’s license.

Though Ford is an experienced flier, this is not his first scary experience. In 2015, he was injured after he crashed his plane into a golf course.
