Default Harrison Ford Mistakenly Lands Husky On KSNA Taxiway

Is it time for venerated pilot Harrison Ford to ground himself for less than
adequate judgment skills to act as Pilot In Command?


The runway is the one with the big "20L" painted on its near-end.


This ignominious incident is worse than Senator Inhoff's landing on a taxiway
because there was a big X on the runway. Old, bold pilots need to recognize
when they become a hazard, and move to the right seat.


Uh, Inhofe didn't land on a taxiway, he landed on the runway with the big X.
Then he saw he was going to run into people and he took off, flew over them
and landed again further down the runway. There's no comparison to someone
making an honest mistake and landing on a wide taxiway. Inhofe would have had
his license pulled if he wasn't a senator.
