Airport surveillance videos detailing last week’s incident at John Wayne International Airport (SNA) involving actor Harrison Ford have surfaced. The actor was cleared to land his single-engine Aviat Husky on SNA’s Runway 20L, but instead landed on the airport’s taxiway “Charlie” that runs parallel to Runway 20L. As the Husky approached the intersection of taxiway “Charlie” and “Lima,” it passed about 100 feet over the top of an American Airlines Boeing 737 that was approaching the hold-short lines for Runway 20L.
