Ford crashed his World War II-era single-engine plane at the Penmar Golf Course in Venice, Calif. while flying solo on Thursday afternoon.
Eyewitness Rick Doukakis watched the crash while waiting to tee off on the eighth hole. Afterwards, he and a few others rushed to help free Ford from the plane.

"I just saw an older man with a gash on his head," Doukakis said, admitting that he didn't recognize Ford at first. "I expected to see broken legs and we started pulling him up. He's in one piece and doesn't look too bad."
Ford crashed about 1,000 feet away from the runway where he took off. An experienced pilot, this wasn't the first time Ford has gone down in a plane. He was uninjured in a helicopter crash in 1999 and the following year, he crash-landed a small plane in Nebraska.
In a 2000 interview with ET, Ford spoke about risk management in flying.

In 2006, Ford flew with the Navy's Blue Angels over Lake Michigan, and in 2008 Ford explained his love of taking to the sky.
"It's about the thrill of seeing the world in three dimensions," Ford said.
