Action hero Actor Harrison Ford flies chopper to rescue sick hiker off mountain

Actor Harrison Ford engaged in some real-life heroics last week when he rescued an ailing hiker off an 11,106-foot mountain peak with his helicopter!

The Idaho Falls Post Register reported: Sarah George, 20, of Idaho Falls and Megan Freeman, 22, of Rigby, were on a five-hour climb of Table Mountain last Monday when heat, altitude and dehydration left George sick and unable to take more than a couple steps at a time. She was in clear and present danger. Fortunately, another hiker called for help on his cell phone, and Harrison Ford was en route with his Bell 407 helicopter.

Ford flew George to St. John's Hospital in Jackson. For most of the 10-minute ride, her stomach was calm. Then with about a minute to go, she lost it and threw up in a hat.

"I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter," she said.

I hope that hat wasn't THE hat...
