I think we need a whole new category for Juniors.
AKJr certainly gets my vote no matter where you put him.
Solid stick, good guy to be in the same sky with, polite, and friendly to a fault. Plus he kicked my tail in KOTH, take a bow Jr, you earned it.
Also in the same category is Sondog. Son of the famous, infamous or notorious Daddog, (depending on your view) he is currently flying under some pretty severe handicaps.
Nothing after 9:00 pm, grades have to be B+ or better, homework done first, and limited hours when he is allowed to fly. Despite this and his relatively young age Sondog has been ripping up the squad h2h ladder. I know I gave up trying to fight him some 6 months ago. Combination of perfect eyesight, perfect reflexes and a very good grounding in the basics of air combat. He's probably over the 1 year edge, but he's just starting to come into his own. Also Daddog finally getting DSL isn't hurting anything either.
These guys are both good sticks, and both as eager as a pair of puppy's.
But, they do NOT have the armor to suffer the same slings and arrows as grownups. So please treat them with courtesy and respect!
