'I Barfed In Harrison Ford's Helicopter' Part 2

The Hollywood superstar's been out rescuing folks again...

Film star Harrison Ford has been at it again... Last time it was 'I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter,' as he airlifted a stricken hiker to safety from an 11,000-foot mountain in his personal chopper.

The exhausted hiker repaid the star by throwing up. This time Ford, who uses his helicopter to assiste the local mountain rescue team, was called in to help scour a forest in Wyoming for a missing 13-year-old boy scout, Cody Clawson.

After scouring the ground for some two hours, Ford apparently scooped the 'cold and exhausted ' boy to safety after he'd survived a rainy night by sheltering under a rock. Other boys asked Cody's mother whether he'd got Ford's autograph, but her son reportedly and rather sweetly replied: "No, but I got a hug and a handshake, and that's better than an autograph."

And the question you're all asking - did Cody barf in Harrison Ford's chopper? No idea, but we bet he's invested in plastic seat covers by now...

Harrison at the controls once again...

Seems strange to me when you have your own falcon (millenium model of course), that Ford chooses the helicopter on this occassion. Sure its a personal helicopter with regular upgrades including leather trim and cd player but hey I'm sure the falcon has some cool features too, maybe laser targets?

It had been usefull for him on many previous rescue type occassions, maybe its up for MOT or something...

Who knows I don't own one, although I have had a look in the reviews can't see it there yet and there are none available in the classifieds? When is it going in Jon?

He's not using it 'cause it was hit by the Y2K bug!

Chris, I reckon the main problem with the Millennium Falcon isn't so much the bug - which I heard they sorted out - but its lack of Vertical Take Off and Landing capabilities.

When do we get a customised OM chopper for easy hill access then? Adam? Jeremy? Sal?
