CORRENS, France — Angelina Jolie certainly does not mess around when it comes to boys’ toys.

Jolie forked over almost $1.6 million on a helicopter and flying lessons for fiance Brad Pitt — and it is not even his birthday.

A source said of the movie star couple, “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 source added, “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.”

Perhaps they could take Pitt’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, out for a spin now that they are back on talking terms after years of fighting and public digs. The “Friends” actress sent them a £500 bouquet ahead of this week’s Cannes Film Festival to congratulate them on their engagement.
