After the 50-year-old superstar had an outing with Suri on Tuesday - the first time he met her since Katie Holmes filed for divorce - the newly single father took a trip on a Liberty helicopter.

Cruise carried his precious cargo during a sweltering hot day in NYC. "They didn't look stressed," said a source. The father-daughter duo's destination was unknown, but Suri was seen peering through the helicopter's window.

"They seemed happy to me," said an observer. Even though Holmes will have primary custody of the couple's daughter, Cruise "will have a meaningful relationship with Suri," said his lawyer, Bert Fields.
