WASHINGTON: Hollywood femme fatale Angelina Jolie wants to become a pilot so that she can ferry aid workers and food supplies around the world and impress her young son Maddox with her jet setting adventures.
The Tomb Raider actress is studying hard for her license and has given herself a five-year deadline to master flying so that she can take to the skies on a whim, reports Imdb.
Jolie insists she'll withdraw from acting once she masters the cockpit, and spend more time working for the United Nations, for which she's an ambassador for refugees.
"My dream is to retire in a few years and take six months and deliver food and help people get from one place to another and just loan out services as a pilot and be with my kids. I could just go.
"Part of this motivation, I'm convinced, is that every time Mad sees a plane he goes, 'Ahhhhh! Mama!' And the idea that I could actually fly a plane by the time he's four? I'll be like Superman to him.
"We could get to Ireland in a half hour. 'What do you want to do Mad? You want to go get Ice Cream in Spain?'", the actress, who has a home in England, was quoted as saying by the report.

It must be great being really, really rich and really really stupid. Ted Turner comes to mind with the ...for the United Nations,...
Refugees? Stop supporting Marxists and tyrants. And the UN. Okay, that's redundant. The UN supports both.
And the flying? Too bad she's too young to remember Catfish Hunter.

I think that is awesome, even if it is for the corrupt UN it is a good thing.

"...I think I can teach her to fly a Cessna naked without too much difficulty."

You mean to get you license not to solo.
What? The minimum is to get your private pilot license is 45 hr with most taking 50-60 Hr.
But to solo most are 10-15 hr.
I had I think around 60 hr. When I went for the private pilot license . And in two years time I had my Multi.
