Harrison Ford told an air traffic controller "I'm the schmuck who landed on the taxiway" after a controversial landing at John Wayne Airport on February 13.

The actor, who was piloting his single engine Aviat Husky, landed on a taxiway instead of a runway, flying directly over an American Airlines Boeing 737 jet carrying 110 passengers.

The audio reveals Ford acknowledging the mistake and saying "It's a big deal for me," after the controller asked for his pilot's license information.

There was no damage to the American Airlines jet Ford flew over; it left shortly after the incident.
