Does aviation insurance cost any more for 17-year-olds than for adults?



Actually, it will cost less to put my son on our flight insurance than it
will to add him to our 8-year old Subaru insurance. (The insurance agent
only laughed when we asked about adding him to our Mustang convertible...
;-)

I'm hoping that this says that teenage pilots are better than teenage
drivers.

I have a friend who says when he was 16 his parents would let him fly
anywhere, but he couldn't have the car on a Saturday night.

I think (hope) most young pilots take flying very seriously, but, you
know, everybody drives!
