My class was the last of the fiscal year, and I remember us frantically trying to figure out what exactly that meant. Our's wasn't great in the T-38 side, but the T-1 guys got a fair number of good deals. After watching drops at a UPT base for five years, it doesn't matter, it's all smoke and mirrors. We've tried to look at it from every angle, to include some guys with PhDs from Rand with a little too much time on their hands trying to crack the code if you will, and the only trend is a the lack of a trend. Some classes have a great drop, others are terrible three weeks later. All luck and timing. Prepare for every flight like it'll make the difference, throw in your dream sheet and see what happens.
