Remember when Harrison Ford pulled that stunt of getting his chest hair waxed for the sake of the environment?
Well, the erstwhile smooth-chested spokesman for the rainforest has a new gig. He’s pimping for the CO2-spewing, environment-killing, private jet and airplane industry. New York Post:
In a role that could be tougher than proving his innocence in the film “The Fugitive,” actor and avid pilot Harrison Ford is trying to convince a fed-up public that small planes aren’t “jets for rich people.”
Ford is starring in a new campaign touting the economic benefits of general aviation, a category that includes private jets, corporate planes, aerobatic aircraft, historic airplanes and helicopters.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, with about 415,000 members, is kicking off a campaign to combat negative perceptions of the industry, the threat of higher fees and stricter security measures.
The group said general aviation pumps $150 billion into the economy every year and employs 1.2 million people.
Maybe Obama will give Harrison Ford a billion dollars to develop a plug-in hybrid aerobatic aircraft?
