A former Boy Scout saved by hero pilot Harrison Ford after getting lost while on a camping trip has told the injured star: 'Get better soon, my family is thinking of you.' Cody Clawson says Ford is a 'genuine hero' after saving his life in a dramatic helicopter rescue back in 2001. Cody was just 13 when he lost the trail during a Boy Scout camp in a remote forest just south of Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. He was missing for almost 19 hours and helicopter pilot Ford – who lived part-time in Jackson, Wyoming at the time - joined a massive search-and-rescue mission to find him.Cody Clawson was 13 when he got lost in Yellowstone National ParkHe walked for hours alone in rain and snow and took shelter in a caveHeard planes flying by, used his belt to reflect sunlight to get attentionHarrison Ford was in a chopper, spotted the teen and landed nearbyNow 26, he recalls thinking 'Han Solo just rescued me, how cool is that?'Ford 'expertly' crash-landed his vintage spitfire plane in a Los Angeles golf course after the engine failed on Thursday afternoon
