interesting turnabout, he's done some airlifting himself
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=116341Sarah George, 20, and Megan Freeman, 22, were on a five-hour climb of 11,106-foot Table Mountain on July 31 when heat, altitude and dehydration left George sick and unable to take more than a couple steps. After another hiker called for help on a cell phone, Air Force One star Ford took to the air.
...
“He was wearing a T-shirt and a cowboy hat,” said George. “He didn’t look like I’d ever seen him before.”
The ailing George vomited into the hat with about a minute to go before landing at Jackson’s St. John’s Hospital.
“I can’t believe I barfed in Harrison Ford’s helicopter,” she said.
