Is there any secondary benefits to learning to fly a f16? Like, does it make flying something else easier as it gets them used to something more modern?

The pilots will be bringing home American doctrine, and be introduced to a wider array of weapons, tactics, and networking technology. Most importantly, in my opinion, the Soviet technology bubble has been broken and Ukraine will gain 21st century air power.
