Albeit i'm not a fighterpilot and all.


But if you've had F-16 expirence before with an earlier block, you're already used to the F-16 in general as far as flight characteristics. So as far as learning the new pit setup, i'd say probably a bit under 2 months at most.

I trained in a Block 30 at F-16 school and then came back to my base flying the Block 52. It only took a couple trips to the simulator and a few hours of academics on the sytems, etc before I was ready to go. The transition isnt too bad at all!
