My son is 15. He'll be turning 16 in August, and starting his Junior
year of high school.

1. He can take flight training this summer, and solo before school starts
in the fall. Unfortunately, he is then stuck for an entire year before
he can take the check-ride.

Being able to fly solo for a year is hardly being "stuck".

Agreed! Beyond that, he can do all of the flying while you and Mary are
aboard, as long as you are willing to accept the responsibility as PIC.

That would probably mean at least one of the certificated pilots would need
to be comfortable doing everything (including landing) from the right seat.
