Lauren Sanchez was the epitome of a cool mom as she took her 23-year-old model son Nikko Gonzalez skydiving with Orlando Bloom.
The former journalist and Black Ops Aviation founder, 54, enjoyed an adventure in the air with her eldest child on Thursday.
The mother-son duo was joined by Pirates of the Caribbean alum Orlando, 47; professional skydiver Luke Aikins, 50; and his wife, Monica Lee, for the outing.
Lauren, who has been very outspoken about her love of flying over the years, piloted the helicopter while Nikko and the rest of the crew enjoyed some skydiving.
The future Mrs. Bezos documented the fun day out on her Instagram, sharing a montage of clips afterwards, which she captioned, 'I guess you could call me a helicopter mom.'

The video began with Lauren sitting in the aircraft as she waited for the others to arrive.
The brunette beauty - who recently returned from a dazzling trip in Italy - donned a white tank top, a matching cap, and a pair of headphones.
She grinned at the camera and flashed a peace sign, before turning the lens to show the group approaching.
Another clip showed Nikko and Luke diving out of the aircraft together before falling out of view.
Lauren previously revealed to The Wall Street Journal that she and her Amazon billionaire fiancé, Jeff Bezos, connected over their shared love of flying.
She got her helicopter pilot's license in 2016, and soon after, she founded Black Ops Aviation - the first female-owned aerial film and production company.
'I had my job, I had a career, and then I found a calling,' she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 of flying.
'I loved entertainment and I loved filming, and so I got to combine all of it.

'Only six per cent of pilots are women, and there's even less in the film industry. So I was like, I want to film movies, that's what I want to do.'
She added to WSJ, '[In the air] is one of the only places I feel entirely in control.'
Sanchez served as a consultant for Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk and most recently worked as an aerial producer for Miss Bala, starring Gina Rodriguez.
'I'm living my dream,' she told Extra in 2018.
'Everyone says, follow your passion. I loved being on camera and now I still have a camera, it's just 3,000 feet in the air.'
It is understood that her love for flying was inspired by her father - a former commercial pilot, airplane mechanic and flight instructor - who still flies today.
Earlier this year, she was honored at the Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards.
