     The sexy screen siren, who is devoted to her work as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, aimed to get a pilot's licence in order to deliver aid to refugees. CRIENGLISH.com reported Thursday.

    The humanitarian Angelina is now well on her way, taking flying lessons at a Santa Monica airport.

    Jolie said in March that her dream is to retire in a few years and help deliver food and get people from one place to another.

    Angelina also admitted that she has another motivation to take to the skies - her adopted three-year-old son Maddox, who was born in Cambodia.
