MOVIE legend Harrison Ford called himself a “schmuck” after he mistakenly landed his private plane on an airport taxiway, an audio recording has revealed.

The Star Wars actor narrowly avoided a passenger plane carrying 116 people during the mishap at John Wayne Airport in California.

Ford told an air traffic controller following the incident: “I’m the schmuck that landed on the taxiway.

“I was distracted by the airline which was in movement when I turned to the runway and also the big turbulence by the landing Airbus.”

The audio recording was released by the Federal Aviation Administra­tion who are investigat­ing.
