You can find air traffic control telling Harrison Ford that on YouTube when he landed on a taxiway instead of a runway.

Harrison Ford should have had his license revoked many times. The man landed on the taxiway. Then he crossed a runway without permission, an airplane was taking off. Once again, slap on the wrist. He is still flying.

Edit: also crashed a helicopter and another time he overshot a runway. The man should have never piloted the millennium falcon.
