Harrison Ford has a Bell 407 helicopter. He's also had a few accidents along the way. I believe he's wrecked the Bell 407, Beaver and an A-36 Bonanza IIRC.

Alain de Cadinet used to operate a Spitfire on behalf of its owner (who was also a well known individual) but it was sold a few years ago.

I don't mean to argue, but according to things I've read on the other forum, he did seem to own TE184, which he sold a couple of years back.
However, My 1996 Warbiirs directory said it was owned by Myrick avaition...prior to that it was owned by the late Nick Grace.
I've also read several things in car magazines that indicated he owned and not just operated it.
Did he fly it or leave that to others?

Fair enough, no argument from me....
Myrick Aviation was a different owner who had it before de Cadinet. I was part of the team that looked after TE184 in the days before de Cadinet, we also did some work on it during the de Cadinet years. The late Norman Lees was the aircrafts main pilot at the time.

I heard they really had snowmobiles, not airplanes.

Adrian Reynard owned Cavanaugh's Mk VIII spit.
Nascar driver (1969 rookie of the year) Dick Brooks owned a T-6, T-28 and several civilian aircraft.
Bobby and Davey Allison owned numerous aircraft over the years.
I think a famous test pilot named Hoover (or something like that) may have owned a P-51, and a T-28 among others.

I think the owner of Red Bull likes airplanes.
