NEW YORK, May 16 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie recently paid nearly $1.6 million on a helicopter and flying lessons for her fiance Brad Pitt, the New York Post said.

Jolie, who has six children with Pitt, is a certified helicopter pilot.

"They've had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval, so Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present," the Post quoted an insider as saying. "But even though Brad has his private pilot's license, he still needs to take a few flying lessons, which he'll start straight away."
