The Tomb Raider star, pictured at the controls of the aircraft above, confesses a pilot's licence would also impress her three-year-old son, Maddox.

Angelina, arriving at a Santa Monica airport for flying lessons, hopes to one day deliver aid to refugees around the world.

    BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Just five months after revealing her goal to become a pilot, "Tomb Raider" heroine Angelina Jolie has put her money where her mouth is, reported CRIENGLISH.com.

    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.

    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.
