Harrison Ford Mistakenly Lands Husky On KSNA Taxiway

What "extreme northern taxiway" are you talking about? Lima is at the
end of the runway and if a plane is behind the hold short lines, then
no landing plane is going to go over it. If I had as many aircraft as
Ford, I'd probably confuse them all the time too. And he didn't switch
from SMO to LAX on the handoff? Quelle Horreur!

If he was landing at SNA, why would SNA hand him off to LAX?

He was probably doing "tower enroute". LAX is between SMO and SNA.

Point missed; he was in the SNA pattern and LANDING at SNA, why would SNA
hand him off to LAX in the middle of a LANDING at SNA?

He wasn't talking to SNA on the tape, he was talking to SMO (where he took
off from.) This is just TMZ looking for any tapes they can get their hands
on and trying to whip up some web hits. As far as I know, there aren't any
public tapes of the landing at SNA.

The Long Beach Airport must be breathing easier, or is LGB still on Ford's hit list ??
