This is cool, his wife is OK with him flying:
"More than five months after his single-engine airplane crashed on a California golf course, Harrison Ford is well and flying again.

"He loves it, so I love it, and I support him 100 percent" Calista Flockhart said of her husband's passion.

Flockhart added that the Indiana Jones star, 73, is doing well, and she has even joined him in his plane."

Also glad it wasn't pilot error. There is more in the NTSB report, he wouldn't have been so badly injured if his shoulder belt had been properly installed. What would have been really cool: recognizing that the engine was running rich, and adjusting the mixture to restore power. Mixture rich, carb heat on was counter productive in this case. S turns to land safely on the open areas of the golf course he overflew would also have helped.
