I can see both sides of the fence when it comes to the rash of trainers we are seeing, I mean in many ways it makes sense to start with a trainer for your first module. But I can also see the argument stating why not do an older fighter, I think when its all said and done, trainers probably have the most information available to these teams, they probably have an abundance of pilots willing to chat about the, etc (although we saw the legal struggles VEAO seemed to have with their Hawk, but then when lawyers stick their noses in, all bets are off :) ). I am into the Hawk because of the RCAF connection, but like most, trainers are not what I am really interested in, I want the big guns...
