Actor Harrison Ford has flown an aircraft for the first time since his crash in March.

The 72-year-old actor spent weeks in recovery due to a large head laceration, broken pelvis and ankle, after crashing his vintage two-seater fighter plane into the Penmar Golf Course on March 5 after a mechanical failure.

However, the Indiana Jones star has now been photographed for the first time, dual piloting a helicopter at Santa Monica airport in Los Angeles, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Coming in to land, Ford was seen smiling at onlookers, clearly pleased to get his first flight out of the way.

Ford’s helicopter ride comes after he was also seen driving to Steven Speilberg’s house earlier this week, looking “happy”.

A source previously said: “Harrison seemed fine and drove himself to Steven Spielberg’s house for a visit. After spending weeks in the hospital, he seemed happy to be back at home. He makes small errands and visits friends.”
