Carlos Gomez, who lives across the street from the golf course, described the plane crash as sounding like a boom.
\"I hear a lot of ambulances and I come outside and see people from the golf course pull a man from the plane,\" he said. \"He was moving his arms and legs. I was happy he was alive and not paralyzed.\"
Mark Hamill, who is appearing alongside Ford in \"Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens,\" poked fun at his co-star's plane crash.
Glad to hear Harrison is doing well. Get well soon. May all his future flights be green-screen!

Ford's son tweeted that his father was \"battered, but ok!\"
At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man.

The NTSB will recover the airplane Friday, said Jones.

An avid pilot, Ford told ABC's Barbara Walters in 2008 that he \"loved the freedom of flight.\"
\"I love the places you go,\" he said. \"I love the people in aviation, the people that I meet in aviation. I love seeing the world from an airplane. I'm in love with flying.\"

Ford survived a crash once before. He and a flight instructor crashed a helicopter near Van Nuys Airport in California in 1999, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Ford has worked to support general aviation with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and he presented a legacy award in his name to the president of the association in January.
Ford broke his leg on the set of \"Star Wars: Episode VII\" in June 2014 after a door crashed down on it. He had successful surgery following the incident.
Star Wars is produced by Lucasfilm, which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., which also owns ABC News.
