I freaking love the FAA...call 10 FSDOs and get 10 different answers. I'm an F-16 guy as well, flew T-37s and T-38s and only had 25 hours of light twin time plus my ME rating. This issue never came up during my ATP ride. Lots of my squadron mates, whose only ME time was in the T-38, have been getting their ATPs recently...never been an issue. I would do some calling around to the local FSDOs.
