Check out Harrison Ford looking healthy and happy!

Well, you know, happy for Harrison Ford.

The 72-year-old star was photographed showing zero signs of post-traumatic stress Thursday as he headed to Santa Monica Airport—the private airport he took off from when he was injured in a small plane crash on March 5—and then proceeded to co-pilot a helicopter.

But talk about looking none the worse for wear. Ford was walking without assistance and looked fit and ready to fly today. He was spotted for the first time since the accident just a few days ago, behind the wheel of a Tesla.

The Indiana Jones and Stars Wars action hero reportedly suffered a broken ankle and underwent surgery for a broken pelvis as well back in March after crashing his World War II-era Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR onto the grounds of L.A.'s Penmar Golf Course—a crash that was ultimately described as a savvy maneuver by an expert pilot because he managed to avoid causing more widespread damage after experiencing engine failure.

Of course, no one could have possibly expected Ford to stop flying now. He was also famously in a helicopter crash in 2000, wryly recalling years later that the aircraft "wasn't quite intact" after he was done with it.

Moreover, Ford also seems to be showing no ill effects of the broken leg he suffered last year in a mishap on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which hits theaters Dec. 18.
