To those who have seen it before...a bit of a non story really...I have seen some excellent 14 yo solo pilots and plenty of rubbish older solo pilots...as gpn01 posted - it is all about individual skill and maturity...age is irrelevant,although obviously one has to have a minimum age !!

And as mechta posted
From what I have seen, the best way to make responsible youngsters is to give them responsibility.
And that is the shame about modern times - responsibility is not readily given to people...big shame -people usually respond well to it.
