Well-Known Aviation Advocate Releases Video Supporting The
Cause
During a General Aviation Caucus forum on Capitol Hill earlier
this week, actor and pilot Harrison Ford endorsed General Aviation
legislation by U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK.) known as S. 1335, the
Pilot’s Bill of Rights. The endorsement followed comments by
Inhofe that outlined details about the legislation and how many
co-sponsors the bill currently has in the Senate. Inhofe is a
member of the Senate General Aviation Caucus and a certified flight
instructor with more than 10,000 flight hours.

“I appreciated the opportunity to speak with Harrison Ford
and other Senators interested in General Aviation about my
bill,” said Inhofe of the meeting. “I have been in
Harrison’s audience for so many years, it is hard to believe
that he was in mine. The bill currently has 43 co-sponsors in the
Senate, so we only need seventeen more to reach that 60 vote
threshold. With the help of Harrison Ford and so many others, I am
confident we will get this done. I really appreciate his support
for my legislation.”
“I’m grateful [for the Pilot’s Bill of
Rights],” Ford said. “It seems [like] a real justice
issue that the behavior of the FAA should match the standard that
we face everywhere else for justice. It’s the one area of our
lives where it’s not. You are guilty until you prove yourself
innocent, and that must not be the case. So, I support fully that.
So, thank you. God speed.”
