Angelina may be an experienced pilot, but we’re not so sure she should be practicing with her 10-year-old son on board.
The mom of six appears to still be up for an adventure when the opportunity arises. Angelina Jolie was spotted taking flying lessons with her son Maddox as the co-pilot in the UK on Sept. 23.
We’re sure she didn’t mean any harm, but we’re left scratching our heads.
Unless you’re a professional pilot, playing pilot with your child might not be the most responsible thing to do.
What do you think, Hollymoms? Was is scary or safe for Angelina to take Maddox for a ride?

Give the woman a break!
I am a pilot myself and as certificated pilots, we have to pass many rigorous and demanding tests (medical, theory and practical) in order to be legally allowed to fly. It doesn’t matter if you are flying your child, your neighbor or the President. Each and every flight has to be conducted with the utmost of preparation, safety and control. Does not matter who the passenger is….we don’t fly any differently as the stakes are ALWAYS high.
Angelina has done her training, has the experience and continues to stay proficient by flying regularly as well as taking ongoing lessons to keep her current skills in check and to acquire new ones. That is the mark of a prudent and mature pilot.
Those that voted no are the ones who need to open their eyes! Just think about who they let behind the wheel. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!
