Pregnant Angelina Jolie Goes Flying

The actress, 32, piloted a private plane with son Maddox, 6, in an air field in Smithville, Texas (where beau Brad Pitt is shooting the drama Tree of Life).

Jolie, whose bump is growing, earned her pilot's license in 2004.

"If I could actually fly a plane by the time he's 4, I'll be like Superman to [Maddox]," she explained at the time.

But is it safe for a pregnant woman to be flying?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that moms-to-be not fly after their 36th week of pregnancy. (Jolie is far away from the 36-week mark.)

This isn't the first daring venture the expecting actress has made.

Sporting a slight bump, she toured Central Baghdad as part of a refugee fact-finding mission in early February.
