Folks next door are saying it is a PT-22.
I haven't seen any photos of the aircraft so I can't say if that is correct
It is a Ryan PT-22. There are photos of it online now. News reports say the engine failed and he crash landed on a nearby golf course. I hope he is going to be okay. The latest story I just read said he is in moderate condition. I don't know what that means.
Looks like Star Wars filming will be delayed .... again! LOL!

Well the lesson is, if you are going to crash your plane, do it at 2.20 pm on a Thursday afternoon, on a golf course.
You'll be immediately surrounded by doctors!
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Sounds like a 'rough' landing

Sorry to disappoint you buddy, but they finished shooting in Nov, they are now in post production, so there should be no delays because of this.
I'm glad to hear he will be alright. I have never heard of or seen that aircraft before, I hope it can be fixed.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Pilots would not call that a "crash". Actually, it was a successful "emergency landing" since he lived and avoided damaging anything or anyone on the ground. He did a nice job in setting it up for that golf course!
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

A very close call. Doubly tragic if we lost Hans Solo and Mr. Spock in the same week.
Ouch, I hope he is ok, I didn't think the plane was banged up that badly!

He's got some broken bones, pelvis, ankle, etc, according to local news reports. looks like he did okay to put it down in such tight confines on uneven ground
So close, yet so far...
It's good to know it's now in post-production. What am I worried about for then???? LOL!
Between the modified YT1300 (Millennium Falcon for the layman) and PT-22 it seems Han Solo needs to subject his flying craft to better maintenance. Glad things didn't turn out worse.

who's worried?
"The Santa Monica Airport... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
Considering how short the marks are in the ground, it looks like it came in pretty steep. like he almost dropped it in there. Ouch!
That would be to clear the trees... He did damned good for such a tight spot
Looks like he hit and stopped in 20 feet. There is a video of the plane hitting the trees, but it is from farther way.

At one time I believe that Testors produced a 1/48 kit of the PT-22
The LG on the PT-22 is a nightmare. Loosing the gear on that plane is probably pretty likely in a forced landing, and does tear up the plane a lot.
The only kit I know of for it is a Lindberg kit that isn't the best. So I have started scale drawings for scratch building one. My local CAF has one, almost identical to Ford's except the nose is bare metal rather than red. I love that plane- saw so many right after the war when they were dumped on the surplus market. Seems like every peapatch airport had one or two, along with a PT-19 and maybe a Twin Beech.

I fondly remember the PT-19 control line model we had as kids. Made out here in California by Cox, back when every public park or ball field had a "no model airplane" sign.
It had the .049 engine, and really flew.
I just hope he sends someone back to replace his divot….luckily that appears to be the only damage done, except to his plane, unfortunately.
Two pages and nobody thought to say that the force was with him???
Seems like it could've been with him a little more.
There was a disturbance...
No mention about how the Princess is taking all this..........
I wonder if he made the golf course run in under 12 parsecs.
But seriously, he's an actor beloved by anyone who ever spent their youth seeing all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies in the theaters. I was so glad to hear that he's going to be okay.
