Insurance in aircraft, from what I've seen, does not depend on age but
hours and ratings. In any case, if you can't be comfortable letting your
son fly off in your airplane, how can you be comfortable letting him fly
any plane? If he's prone to stupid pilot tricks you'll be mourning the
loss of him not the plane so it's irrelevant which plane he augers in
with.

I know a guy who at 16 his parents would let him take a plane anywhere,
but he couldn't have the car on Saturday night. Aviation TEACHES good
decision making.
