Liam and Harrison had such a good time in the air that they're even figuring out a way to go solo diving, but admitted 'we're not talking to his mother (Calista Flockhart) about it.'
'Next time, I want to leave that guy on the ground,' he said. 'He seemed like a very nice guy, but I want to take the training and then be able to do it myself.'
