Not much info yet. But that certainly isn't a fighter plane.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Looks like it was a very nice plane. Hope he is OK.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to Photoshop the Millennium Falcon on a golf course!

That wouldn't be a Jack Ryan PT-22, would it...?

His son, Ben, tweeted that Harrison is OK, so that at least is some good news.

Glad he's ok. Good spot to crash I guess where there are doctors.

Near a hospital or at a golf course.

He reported engine failure before dropping in. The glide ratio of that old plane is not
much better then a brick to. Glad he is ok.

He was flying a WW II vintage plane... okay.

Each time a rich famous person is hurt or killed in a single engine turbo prop plane crash, I always wonder why with all that $ they have they don't buy/rent a 2 engines planes.

Like JFK Jr, they all go piling up in a little one engine plane and fly in bad weather when JFK Jr surely can afford to rent or buy a 2 or 3 engine turbo prop or jet.

Apparently he's been flying since the 60's. They said he crashed a chopper a few years back and walked away. Must not be too bad of a pilot. Glad he's ok, hope that's really the case.

Never turn to try to get back to the field. A lesson still being learnt from the beginning of powered flight (its what killed McCudden, who himself used to drill this into new pilots). Pity to see such a nice crate wrecked. Glad the pilot seems to be okay.

See, that's what you call a "Good" Landing.
Not "Great" Landing but it's still a "Good" Landing.
