Harrison Ford 'in near-miss' at US airport

US actor Harrison Ford has been involved in a near-miss 
while flying his plane in California, US media say.

They say Ford, aged 74, was instructed to land on a runway 
at John Wayne airport in Orange Country on Monday.

But instead he mistakenly landed on a parallel taxiway, passing over a waiting American Airlines plane with 110 passengers and crew on board.

That plane safely departed minutes later. Ford has not
commented on the reported incident.

Just before the landing, the Indiana Jones star is quoted
 as asking air traffic controllers: "Was that airliner meant 
to be underneath me?"

The Federal Aviation Authority confirmed that the pilot 
of the single-engine Aviat Husky plane had been cleared
 to land on the runway.

But it declined to confirm that the pilot was in fact 
Harrison Ford.

The incident was first reported by NBC and the 
ERICGOSSIP website.

The actor, who is a certified pilot, has been involved in 
several air accidents.

In 2015, he was injured when his vintage plane crashed 
on a golf course in Los Angeles.

In 1999, Ford crash-landed his helicopter during a
 training flight in Los Angeles but both he and the
 instructor were unhurt.

He has been in accidents out of the cockpit too, breaking 
his leg in 2014 while filming a scene involving a door on
 the Millennium Falcon spaceship.

Ford took up flying when he was in his 50s and owns 
several aircraft.
