Harrison Ford Will Narrate Documentary About Aviation


There is going to be a new film about aviation, and it is narrated by none other than Harrison Ford, screen actor and private pilot. The score for the film is written by James Horner, who is the same composer who wrote the score for The Wrath of Kahn.



Harrison Ford recently suffered injuries from a plane crash that occurred when the World War II 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR he was piloting had an unexpected engine failure. Nevertheless, Ford was able to land on a golf course. The fact that he landed in a place where there was room enough to do so rather than in a populated area where property would be damaged and people injured, shows that he is a very able pilot.


Living in the Age of Airplanes, the documentary narrated by Harrison Ford will premiere on April 8, 2015 at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, and it will show in IMAX theaters nationwide starting on April 10.
