I would much rather fly the talon than the McDozen.
For the last three years, students from the T-38 track have been eligible for assignment into any airframe.
Studs selecting the T-38 know this as a going-in argument, and they're also acutely aware that fighters and bombers have been pretty scarce in those assignment drops for quite some time. So, that should never be a surprise for T-38 track students.
