Do you all think there are any correlations to time in the fiscal year that your drop occurs to the variety of aircraft available? For instance, the further into the year you get, there are less unique aircraft/location available to put on a dream sheet?

No

The only one that I have seen with any regularity are Vipers to Kelly.  Usually drop in early to mid summer since they offer only one B-Course per year.  Everything else is a crap shoot.

I haven't totally kept up with how classes are being divvied out or if its a static or fluid class these days, but...

Looks like (for the US guys) 4-5 T-1 and 8-9 T-38  students (not sure what track the T-6 FAIP guy is from) is that normal? i.e. what % of guys through T-38s in your average class these days?

Holloman better buckle up with these kinds of numbers. No wonder they're looking to cut the syllabus shorter there

Very fluid.  Last drop was less than two weeks ago.  9 T-38s and 4 T-1s in this one (might be off by 1).  The class two weeks ago was almost the exact opposite. Classes these days are a combo of several classes now and you essentially graduate with whatever class is next up if you finish first.

We aren’t seeing that kind of overtake at KDLF at all.. still pretty consistent seeing ratios like three or four 38’s to like ten or more toners

I hope these guys got intro'd to some air-to-ground tactics because I've got a feeling they'll be employing sooner rather than later 😬

F-16 final base is determined during the B-course. Sometime just after the halfway point, the assignments drop to your class then the students divy up the assignments however they please.

Can faips go direct overseas (not Korea) from the f-16 b-course these days?
