It was just
over a week since Harrison Ford was pictured hobbling towards a private
jet with help from a leg support at Santa Monica Airport.
However
when he returned on Tuesday, the Hollywood actor was happy to walk
unaided as he arrived on the tarmac to take his Cessna T182T plane for a
ride.
The
72-year-old had been using a hands-free iWalk after breaking his left
ankle during filming for Star Wars: Episode 7 in early June.
Back on TWO feet! Harrison Ford was free of his plaster cast when he was spotted at Santa Monica Airport on Tuesday
Recovered: The Star Wars actor was at the spot to take his Cessna T182T plane for a spin
The
father-of-five appeared to be back to his best as he walked towards his
small plane, however a golf buggy was seen waiting to transport him.
The certified helicopter pilot was dressed casually for his outing, teaming a black T-Shirt with khaki trousers and brown shoes.
He
was joined in the cockpit by a male companion who sat on his right,
before taking off and making the most of the bright sunshine.

Wheels up: Up until recently, the Hollywood
star had been walking around with the help of an iWalk after breaking
his ankle on the Star Wars set
The
actor was injured when a piece of his character Hans Solo's spaceship,
the Millennium Falcon, fell on his leg during filming.
Harrison was airlifted from Pinewood Studios to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, which specialises in fractures following the incident.
His injury meant producers had to reshuffle the filming schedule for Episode 7, which is due for release in December 2015.

At
the time of his injury, a statement from Disney and Lucasfilm said:
'Harrison is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the set
soon.'
They
confirmed Harrison is hoping to return to the set of the $200million
film next month following a two-week break by cast and crew.
Lucasfilm
said: 'In August, the team will take a brief two-week hiatus while
adjustments to the current production schedule are made as actor
Harrison Ford recovers from a leg injury.
'Shooting remains on track to wrap in the fall (autumn) with the film scheduled for release on December 18, 2015.'
The sky's the limit: His injury meant producers
had to reshuffle the filming schedule for the movie, which is due for
release in December 2015
What a difference! It was just over a week since
Harrison was pictured hobbling towards a private jet with help from a
leg support
