'I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter'

'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.
