(Associated Press) Harrison Ford, known for his heroic roles in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies, played a real life rescuer on July 31 when he flew his helicopter to airlift an ailing hiker from a Wyoming mountain. Ford, a pilot and part-time resident of Jackson, Wyo., offers his Bell 407 chopper for volunteer rescue missions.

Ford rescued Sarah George, 20, who was hiking on Table Mountain with her companion Megan Freeman, 22, the AP reported. George fell ill and Ford responded to a call for help. The actor transported the hiker to a Jackson hospital.
