Nothing ironic about it at all. He was piloting the aircraft illegally. Most states have minimum age for drivers licenses at 16 -- the same minimum age to solo an aircraft.
And there have been cases where children at various ages from 5 - 14 have killed themselves in automobiles.
Personally, unless the FAA does something stupid to not allow me to do so, I plan on giving my daughter flying lessons as early as she wants them. I like the idea that she would have some clue what to do should I pass out at the controls someday.
