Some will say to wait until you are older. I think it is a great experience to take a lesson or two and give you some motivation and to see if you even like flying. Why wait until you are 17 to find out you hate it? Here are some web sites for you to look at.

as stated above, you can start flying lessons at any age, but you can only apply for a pilots licence when you are 16.
As for it helping you becoming a fighter pilot...
Joining the military pilot some flying experience can be great as you will not need to learn as much when you start off. However some people that join the military who have had flying experience find it difficult in some ways, because they have picked up bad habits from civil flying.
In the military you are required to learn flying skills much faster then in the civilian world, because they are looking for the best of the best.
hope this helps
For one you need to be tall enough to see over the nose, and reach the rudder pedals. You can sit on cushions to sit high enough, but you still need to be able to reach the rudder pedals regardless.
Motivation too. It's not like learning to play basketball where someone tells you the rules then you just practice over and over. Learning to fly is like going to a second school. You need to study, study, study, then apply what you have studied in the airplane... AND THEN practice it over and over.
And as others have pointed out, ya, money. Its expensive learning to fly.
It is best to wait until you are 17 and can actually get your private pilot certificate. Otherwise you will waste some expensive instructional time learning information you will forget before you can use it again.
In the meantime, read all you can get your hands on about aircraft and aviation, and focus on making good grades in your general studies.
It's awesome that you are thinking about getting a pilot license. Yes, money is a big thing, but motivation and your desire is bigger. If you really want to get your pilot license, I am sure you can figure out financing from somewhere. Lot of flight schools also provide loans to students.

Good luck!
You can start taking flying lessons at any age. I started when I was 13, although you can not solo until your are 16 and can not get your private pilot rating until you are 17. I would suggest that you start very slowly maybe one or two lessons a month, just to keep what you learned in front of you and once you get closer to 16 start taking more lessons.
Hope this helps and good luck!
