Brad Pitt arrived back in Los Angeles on Thursday after his whirlwind trip to Europe to promote lnglourious Basterds.

Dressed in a white and beige ensemble, and wearing his trademark flat cap, the star waved to photographers as he climbed into a waiting car outside LAX.

Just as Brad was touching down, Angelina Jolie was taking to the skies with sons Maddox and Pax.

The boys were passengers in mommy's plane as she brushed up on her flying skills with an instructor in Burbank.

Despite their jetset lifestyle, Angelina and Brad couldn't be more "down to earth" according to Quentin Tarantino, who gushed to Entertainmentwise about his leading man at the UK premiere of lnglourious Basterds.
