I got into the T-38 at about 3,300 hours between helos and light and heavy fixed wing. I never failed a flight until the 38. It wasn’t the stick and rudder, I could fly the jet fine. What was tough for me was the mindset shift of having to do everything myself. Ironically the flights I failed were instrument hops because of the single pilot task saturation.
I say that to say, non-pointy nose types can learn fast jets, but I’d be willing to bet there will inevitably be a learning curve.
