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".

2. He can hold off until next summer, 2007.

Should my son wait a year, so he can go at it full-steam and get the
ticket?

Or should we strike while the iron is hot?

Which does he prefer?
