Harrison Ford's helicopter mountain rescues

In the summer of 2000, this gruff space-smuggler-turned-screen-legend fired up his personal helicopter and rescued a dehydrated hiker off an Idaho mountain — one of two stranded strangers he airlifted to safety in as many years.

The full story

A licensed pilot who volunteered for search-and-rescue in Wyoming, Harrison Ford rescued dehydrated hiker Sarah George by helicopter in July 2000 — she famously said 'I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter' — and located lost 13-year-old Boy Scout Cody Clawson in 2001.

The clues we handed out

— The hiker later admitted she'd been sick in the actor's helicopter — and had no idea whose it was until she looked up.

— The next summer he found and flew home a 13-year-old Boy Scout lost near Yellowstone.

— He volunteered his aircraft for county search-and-rescue missions near his Wyoming ranch.

— His most famous character hates snakes and never misses with a whip.

— Initials: H.F.
