Harrison Ford set to take teen on flight at convention

Harrison Ford Press Conference on Thursday, July 28 at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. “It’s a huge group of dedicated pilots who all come together, donate their time, use their airplanes to introduce people to aviation”, said Harrison Ford.

Jodie says she hopes to join the U.S. Air Force or Navy after high school.

Gawthrop, of Westchester, Illinois, has 10 flight hours under her belt through the Civil Air Patrol. After a 19-year journey full of false dawns, dashed hopes and rejected screenplays, Indiana Jones is finally back for a fourth adventure. The film reunites three of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters – director Steven Spielberg, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas and leading man Harrison Ford – for what is comfortably the most eagerly anticipated blockbuster of the year.

Ford and Gawthrop circled the airfield twice before landing.

“Jodie actually asked me whether celebrities use checklists”, the actor told reporters at the EAA’s annual convention in Wisconsin, “and I said, ‘Absolutely, they need them!'” In fact, following his flight with Gawthrop, he called the experience “really, really fun”.
