I think you're probably on to something here. I know I would have struggled mightily in the T-38 program. As it turned out, I did fine in the T-1 track, but my g-tolerance and inverted-tolerance weren't very good to be sure. I think pilots raised in the T-38 that went on to fly heavies are a different breed (in a good way) than us T-1 younguns that spent more time flying instrument approaches into a quality lunch-and-back location.
