"Indiana Jones" star Harrison Ford has started flying again following his serious crash earlier in the year, where he suffered injuries including a large laceration to his head, as well as broken bones.

Five months on from his plane accident when he crash-landed on a golf course in Los Angeles - due to engine failure related to a loose part - the 72-year-old actor's wife Calista Flockhart has revealed her husband still loves his aviation hobby.

The TV actress said although it was "really hard" she supports his decision "100 percent" to get back to what he loves most, reported People magazine.
 

"He loves it, so I love it, and I support him 100 percent," Flockhart said.

However, it was a "scary time" for Flockhart and the "Star Wars" star's son Liam Flockhart and also Ford's children from his previous marriages with Melissa Mathison Georgia Ford and Malcolm Ford and Willard Ford and Ben Ford with Mary Marquardt.

"It was a really hard, scary time for our family. I think it just makes you realise, once again, that life can turn on a dime. We just have to appreciate every second we're here, because you never know," Flockhart said.

The accident hasn't stopped Ford's wife from being a passenger in his aircraft and she confirmed that she goes along on his journeys, but she doesn't fly herself.

"I don't fly. I'm the passenger in the plane.
