'I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter'

Indy plucks blighted hiker to safety in Tetons

'I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter,' muttered hiker Sarah George, 20, after the rugged star plucked her to safety off 11,106 foot Table Mountain in the Tetons.

Ford was called in by the local mountain rescue team, when George and another hiker were climbing the mountain and she ground to a halt suffering from heat and dehydration. The actor, who lives in Wyoming assists the local mountain rescue team using his personal Bell 407 chopper, saving them 1000 dollars per hour in flying time.

'He was wearing a T-shirt and a cowboy hat,' said George clearly shocked at Ford's brazeneness off screen. "He didn't look like I'd ever seen him before.' Clearly not carrying his Indiana Jones bullwhip then, and probably just as well given that she threw up in the helicopter just a minute before landing at the local hospital.
