> You can also get a pilot's license at 14 years old in many parts of the US.

FAA is federal in scope, so the rules are the same across the US.

You can get a student pilot certificate (allowing you to solo an aircraft) at 16 for airplanes/helicopters and 14 for gliders and balloons. 17 is the minimum age for a private pilot certificate and I believe 16 is the minimum age for a glider/balloon pilot.
