Harrison Ford's Many Trips: 19 Photos of His Cars, Motorcycles, and Planes

Having amassed a $300 million fortune thanks to numerous Hollywood blockbusters, Harrison Ford has been able to play harder than he works. Movies like The Fugitive, Indian Jones and Star Wars made the 76-year-old actor a star.

Although Ford makes millions of dollars from every film, his rise to the top hasn't been smooth. “Acting is my trade. I've spent my whole life working on this and I want to be well paid for it because otherwise I'm being irresponsible, not appreciating what I do for a living. When I got into this business, I didn't even know the names of the film studios - I had a contract with the studio for $150 a week. One thing I realized is that the studios didn't respect the person who was willing to work for them for that amount. So I realized that the value I give to my work is the value and respect that I will receive in return, ”said Ford.

As soon as he started making big money, he bought several toys. Ford said that in addition to the few planes he owns, “I also have more than my share of motorcycles, eight or nine. I have four or five BMWs, a couple of Harleys, a couple of Hondas and a Triumph; plus I have sports touring bikes. I'm a solo rider and I love being in the air," Ford said, according to the Daily Mail. Let's take a look at all of its rides including bikes, planes and cars!

Ford wanted a private jet, so he bought one that was the ultimate in luxury. The Sovereign 680 is a business jet designed by the Cessna Citation family with a range of 3,200 miles.

The buyers of the 680 are wealthy individuals who are willing to part with $18 million to travel in style. The manufacturer began production of the aircraft in 2004 and produced more than 350 units. The aircraft can climb to an altitude of 43,000 feet and reach a top speed of 458 knots.

The enterprising Ford seems to care about the environment while driving down the highway. Tesla Model S has been in production since 2012. The Model S became the first electric car to top the monthly new car sales rankings, topping twice in Norway in 2013.

The years that followed proved much more profitable for Tesla, as the Model S became the world's best-selling electric car in 2015 and 2016. While Tesla had a few issues with the Model X, the Model S turned out to be one of the best. models. In addition to being environmentally friendly, the Model S takes 2.3 seconds to reach 0 mph.

Although the car was in production for only four years, it impressed collectors such as Ford. The XK140 offers more luxury than speed, as the two-seat convertible has a top speed of 125 mph. The engine is capable of producing 190 horsepower and takes 8.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.

The XK140 was the choice of the car connoisseur who wanted to show off but didn't mind mediocre speed. Jaguar produced open-seat, fixed-head and flip-head versions, and managed to sell almost 9,000 units during the production run. It's hard to find one these days.

13 1966 Austin Healey 300

You didn't expect Indiana Jones to drive a Toyota Prius, did you? Ford collects vintage cars, which gives him great pleasure when he is not filming blockbusters. The Austin Healey 3000 lets Ford drop the top and let the wind blow through his hair.

The Austin Healey is a sports car that the British automaker produced from 1959 to 1967. The manufacturer exported about 92% of all cars it produced in 1963, mostly to the United States. The 3-litre was a success, winning numerous European rallies and classic car competitions. The car has a top speed of 121 mph.

12 Almost A-1S-180 Husky

The Indiana Jones star is not only an on-screen pilot, but also an off-screen pilot. “I love the aviation community. I used to have planes and the pilots flew them for me, but in the end I realized that they had more fun than me. They started playing with my toys. I was 52 when I started flying - I've been an actor for 25 years and I wanted to learn something new. Acting was my only identity. Learning to fly was a lot of work, but the end result was a sense of freedom and the satisfaction of taking care of the safety of myself and the people who fly with me,” Ford said, according to the Daily Mail.

Husky can carry 975 pounds of cargo and fly 800 miles without refueling.

11 Dayton triumph

The R1200 will give Ford the off-road capability it needs when it wants to feel like Indiana Jones behind the scenes, but the Daytona will give Ford plenty of power when it wants to feel the performance. A sport bike is capable of incredible speed, and Ford isn't afraid to push the bike to its limits.

Because he knows how to fly a plane, Ford is not afraid to get into the Daytona in just a helmet and shirt. There is no need to lace up leather clothing, as Ford is used to the bumps and bruises he received while filming all the action movies. Age is just a number, as Ford continues to prove.

One of the planes that Ford once owned was a Cessna 525B. The aircraft uses the forward fuselage of the Citation II with a new carrier section, a straight wing and a T-tail. Cessna began production of the 525B in 1991 and has continued to produce it. The aircraft manufacturer produced over 2,000 525Bs and sold them for $9 million.

Consumers who have so much money for an airplane will experience luxury in the air. The cockpit with Rockwell Collins avionics is designed for one pilot, but can accommodate two crew members.

9 Mercedes Benz S-Class

He might be 72, but that doesn't mean Ford isn't cool. When he's not riding around town on a motorcycle or flying a plane, he likes to show off his black Mercedes. Given that the German manufacturer produced some of the most luxurious and reliable cars around, it's no surprise that Ford opted for a black convertible.

When Ford is hiding from the paparazzi, he wears a cap and sunglasses. All this disguise is not enough to hide him from the public eye, as the paparazzi photographed him while he was in town with a passenger.

8 Beechcraft B36TC Bonanza

As Ford began dating Calista Flockhart, he had to make room for her son and his five children. In addition to buying a few planes for the entertainment of a large family, Ford bought a Mercedes Wagon. While the van provides extra space for the kids, he also uses it to haul cargo. One of Ford's recreational activities is cycling.

The E-Class station wagon is ideal for carrying a Ford bike, as well as any luggage that Ford will need when boarding a plane. While Mercedes designed the E-Class Wagon as a vehicle with plenty of cargo space, the German automaker hasn't neglected safety and performance.

5 BMW F650 GS

The GS is a dual-purpose off-road and on-road BMW motorcycle that the German manufacturer has been producing since 1980. BMW car enthusiasts know that the automaker produces reliable cars with good performance. This has not changed with the GS motorcycles.

One way to distinguish the GS from other BMW models is its longer suspension travel, upright seating position and larger front wheels. Airhead models are very popular with adventurous motorcyclists due to the easy access design of the machine.

4 1929 Waco Tupperwing

Given that Ford is old school, I wasn't surprised to learn that he had a vintage plane. One of the planes that he has in his collection is the Waco Taperwing biplane with an open top. The aircraft is a three-seat single-seat biplane built on tubular steel frames.

Waco's first flight took place in 1927. At the time, the owners purchased the aircraft for just over $2,000. The aircraft provides excellent handling and overall can make the flight unforgettable and smooth. The maximum speed of the aircraft is 97 miles per hour and it can fly 380 miles.

2 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

Aviation enthusiasts love the Cessna 208B as consumers continue to manufacture the aircraft since 1984. Cessna has built over 2,600 units, and consumers like Harrison Ford who opted for the Grand Caravan didn't mind parting with $2.5 million if they bought it last year.

The Grand Caravan is four feet longer than the 208 and certified as a two-seat cargo aircraft in 1986 (and as an 11-seat passenger aircraft in 1989). When Ford needs to go on long trips, he uses the Grand Caravan as it can travel up to 1,231 miles. The maximum speed of the aircraft is 213 miles per hour.

1 Pilatus PC-12

One of the smallest aircraft in Ford's collection is the Pilatus PC-12. The plane used to be owned by Ford, but consumers who wanted a 2018 model had to part with $5 million to get behind the wheel or enjoy flying in the cabin. The aircraft is the world's best-selling single-engine supercharged gas turbine aircraft.

The first flight of the RS-12 took place in 1991, but the plant launched it into series only in 1994. Since then, more than 1,500 owners have purchased the aircraft. A Pratt & Whitney PT62-67 engine powers the aircraft, allowing it to reach a top speed of 310 mph.
