Glad he survived and I hope he fully recovers from his injuries..
Hopefully no one on the ground had to take any extraordinary measures to avoid being hit. It just goes to show, it could be a light aircraft or it could be air force one but when it comes to planes you never really know what lies beneath.

Joking aside, it looks like he had a lucky escape and did well to get it down in almost one piece. As ever, the news report linked above gets its terminology wrong. The aircraft did not "stall" it seems. It had an engine failure and lost power which forced Ford to try to make an emergency landing on the nearby golf course.
An aeroplane stall is an aerodynamic event when it flies so slowly that the wings stop providing lift.
The aircraft involved is a World War 2 vintage Ryan PT-22, which was used by the US military at the time as a basic training aircraft.
