    @Mad Dog - as OF's (I won't say tame... let's say 'less than feral' ;)) airline pilot... what's your take?

    He maybe able to do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, but if he hasn't got Chewie with him, he tends to bin planes on golf courses or pull stunts like this. :cool:

    Several of my friends and fellow cat sailors are pilots. Consensus is that Harrison needs to find another hobby.

    Oh, gee...I don't know. I'm not familiar with Ford's background as a general aviation pilot. I will say that it can be an easy mistake to make to land on a taxiway...I haven't done it (yet) but a taxiway can easily be mistaken for a runway. I will also say that mixing general aviation operations with large aircraft commercial operations at a fairly busy airport can pose some interesting challenges. I don't like to arm chair quarterback stuff like this...I just try to worry about my own flying.
