It’s too bad Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are about to be hitched, because it seems like he has a soulmate in Gisele Bundchen. Following in her footsteps, Indiana Jones shares his passion for both environmental causes and flying fuel-sucking helicopters and five private planes in the print edition of Hello!:
On his love of flying
Ford: “I’m not just an actor. I’m also a pilot. I really enjoy the mix of freedom and responsibility that flying requires. I’m not seeking out the adrenaline as much as the pleasure of calculating risk and knowing where the dangers are.”On his love for Calista
Ford: “I was 60 when I fell in love with Calista. What surprised me most was that I was still capable of establishing a long-lasting relationship, making a serious commitment. With my children, in my private life or my work, I try to learn from my mistakes and evolve.”On a green wedding
Ford: “I haven’t thought about ‘greening my wedding.’ My wedding was always going to be green.”
Oh really? So how, Celebitchy asks, does his extravagant lifestyle fit into that?
Ford doesn’t say much about his commitment to environmental causes, but Hello! points out that he’s doing promotional work for the Team Earth project, which encourages people to live a more sustainable lifestyle. In that same interview, Ford admits to owning more motorcycles that he can count on both hands and Hello! mentions that Ford, a pilot, has five airplanes and a helicopter and owns three residences. Now how is owning six aircraft and three homes compatible with being conscious of your environmental impact?
(A tip of the hat to Celebitchy for doing our jobs for us.)

Normally, I would say something here, but his normal co-pilot,a rather tall and hairy gentleman, just threatened to rip my arms out of their sockets if I did.
Maybe he figured that by buying all of those planes himself, he was preventing others from owning them and potentially flying them. And since he can only fly one at a time… (In other words, maybe he doesn’t realize they built more planes after he bought his.)
Thank you Harrison Ford for remembering me that I am a lowly peon who don’t deserve a single commercial flight ticket. I guess that my lifestyle of getting a vacation is cramming his ability to joyride his planes.
Liberal Celebrities, gotta love them!
Captain Solo is dead to me.
Hahaha. Time for some American Satire (the thing is such a farce anywhooo):

I lost most of the respect I had for him when he started accepting awards on behave of pedophiles that couldn’t come to the US to get them without being arrested.
Bantha podo.
Maybe we can have Harrison Ford captain the mission to go mine ice from Halley’s comet to drop into the ocean to counteract global warming. It worked in Futurama.
Great googly moogly, how can he call himself a pilot if he wears those silly Elton John specs? Get that man some Ray-bans!
Not suprising. Afterall, this is the guy who made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
(And for anyone who doesn’t get the joke: Congratulations! You’re not a complete geek!)
Well, the guy has been a little weird for the past several years…hello, midlife crisis. I will say this for him: he does helicopter runs for search and rescue in Montana or whatever state his ranch is in. If you’re going to have your own helicopter, you may as well do some good. Just don’t tell the rest of us not to fly anywhere.
Harrison,I have more reycling bins than I can count on one hand.Want to race?
drm31415, is that a Polanski reference?
I think he fell in with a bad crowd and has taken on the persona of a liberal green earth hippy just so he can get close to Al Gore and plant the explosive device on his wide butt.
Awwww geeze, Aleric.
I really could’a lived a long time without picturing a trio of X-wings making a trench run on the Gore Star…
Great shot, kid. One in a million!
Minnow, you are the wind beneath my X-wings. I’m downing shots to all your posts for Star Wars drinking game – mentally, at least, anyway…
HF has a big “compound” in Jackson Hole. Apparently he uses his helicopter for search and rescue on occasion.
I think I saw a Somali kid handing his fiance a plate of rice.
