Hey, plenty of people say that kids can't program but just look at us.
As some more advice, I recommend looking up a bit about the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association). They are obviously involved in making their own aircraft, but they also do many community outreach programs. See if your area has a Young Eagles flight. I went on one, and it was a great experience. They had a bunch of small planes (maybe 6 seats?) that they let people ride/fly for free! I got to control a bit on my flight, but as much as anything I was examining the cockpit to see what was similar to FSX. They also have all sorts of educational material to get people on an actual course to becoming a pilot.
If you live in the Wisconsin area they also manage AirVenture Oshkosh, the largest gathering in the world.
