Ford in near miss at airport

Hollywood star Harrison Ford was involved in a near miss at a California airport as he was piloting his private plane, officials and US media said on Tuesday.

Ford, a seasoned pilot and vintage plane collector, was approaching John Wayne Airport in Orange County, NBC reports, when he headed toward a taxiway rather than the runway, passing over a Boeing 737 that had 110 passengers and six crew members.

The 74-year-old Indiana Jones star was captured on air traffic control recordings, according to NBC, asking: "Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?"
