The Federal Regulations state that you could solo at 16 and get your license at 17. Since you are 15, if you want to start now and have the money, go for it! Talk with an instructor at your local flight school.

Can someone give my space ship a jumpstart?

I started when I was 15, I'm 16 now and have soloed and getting ready for a cross country. The only thing I have to say is try not to get discouraged, you may be ready to fly alone, but you wont be old enough, just keep in focus what you want, and never give up. Good luck.

Any pilots on here ever flown into Salzburg?

Age doesn't have much to do with taking lessons. If you can reach the controls. you can take lessons. 15 would be a good place to start, you can't solo until you are 16. The only PPL you can get at 16 is for glider or a balloon rating. Then at 17 you can get a PPL for powered aircraft.

What is a Boeing 747??

There is no age limit for taking flying lessons. I've heard of 10
year olds piloting. Of course they can't do it alone. To solo, you
must have a medical card (AKA student pilot certificate) which
you can get at 16. The common obstacle isn't age but money.
