In the beginning years of their relationship, Harrison Ford often raved about his and Calista Flockhart’s mutual love of flying together. “Calista loves to fly, and I’m thrilled because it’s so important to me, and it’s the kind of thing that’s so much more fun with somebody who really enjoys it,” Ford gushed to People in 2003. Flockhart, however, was adamant that flying with Ford all came down to trust. “I had always been a little nervous about flying, but when we went for the first time — I think to Santa Barbara — I wasn’t nervous at all,” she recalled.

Alas, all of that trust came crashing down in 2015 when Ford made a crash-landing on a Florida golf course in his classic World War II airplane, subsequently fracturing his pelvis. According to Ford, the plane suffered a mechanical malfunction and simply wasn’t something he had any control over. “In the words of the great philosopher Jimmy Buffett: s*** happens,” Ford told The Hollywood Reporter in February about the crash. It should be noted, however, that Flockhart supported Ford’s decision to return to flying. “He loves it, so I love it, and I support him 100 percent,” Flockhart announced a mere five months after the harrowing accident.
