Harrison ford crashes plane on golf course

[Tashyboy]

He's ok and was treated by two doctors who were playing.

why would you say he crashed it on the eighth?
does it really matter?

Apparently it was just inside the out of bounds thankfully.....no reload required...

Hope they have declared it as an immovable instruction

 

[virtuocity]

Air Force (hole in) One?

 

[Rooter]

He was flying (Hans) Solo though, so no other people injured.

And the Bugger was wearing jeans

Confession! I very nearly crashed an aeroplane onto Denham Golf Course flying out of Denham Airfield many years ago. Tried to take off on a hot day in a Cessna 172 with full fuel tanks and 4 heavy people on board. Just managed to get airborne before the fence arrived and flew at below head height across the golf course trying to get enough speed to climb without stalling.. Fortunately there were no golfers in the way! Was always more careful about weight and balance calculations after that!

Was the runway crowned? or too short?





Sorry, couldn't resist!

I bet some tit on the 7th was moaning about slow play as well ... "It must be another female 4 ball in front" :blah:

very good!

 

[BoadieBroadus]

did he have a bad feeling about it?

Runways can never be too long, and the only time you don't want too much fuel in an aeroplane is when it's on fire (although I could have done with a little less on the occasion described)!

One of my gliding friends attempted a forced landing in a glider onto a fairway at a golf course near Basingstoke and ended up in a bunker!

I read he's basically ok so....

This was heard over the radio (take your pick)

• It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man.
• She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
• Sure hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission, or this is gonna be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!
• I don't what we're gonna do now. Even if I could take off, I could never get past the tractor beam.
• What're you looking at? I know what I'm doing
• Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home! We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose 'em.
• Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?
• Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em.
• Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it.
• Sorry about the mess.
• I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur.

And finally Hans Solo’s opinion on Aimpoint:

• Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

He plays golf doesn't he? So you would have thought that he might've considered the trouble he's going to cause Course & Golf Committee now. And if there was a competition in progress he's ruined it.

Surely there must've been a ploughed field nearby that he could've chosen instead

The pics of the crash were pretty impressive.....

 

[delc]

Hope he replaced his divot!

 

[CirenBhoy]

Hope he shouted "Fore"!

Probably blobbed that one last time he played

I'm just pleased that no one else was in clear and present danger...
