 Harrison Ford crash-landed his World War II-era aeroplane yesterday after losing engine power, suffering serious but not life-threatening injuries as he used his years of piloting prowess to bring down the plane on a golf course and avoid nearby homes in what one expert called a beautifully executed manoeuvre.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the latest and most serious in a series of crashes and close calls for the 72-year-old action-adventure A-lister, who like his Star Wars alter-ego Han Solo has a taste for aerial thrills. He was pulled from the plane by golfers and course workers who saw it come down short of the runway at Santa Monica Municipal Airport, and was taken by ambulance to a hospital conscious and breathing.</div>
